It is among the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and the global leader in in-vitro diagnostics, with oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and biologics as core therapeutic strengths and a diagnostics arm spanning core-lab analyzers, molecular/PCR, tissue/pathology staining, point-of-care, and diabetes care.
