Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, today announced a new AI-powered real-world data platform, designed to help researchers and biopharmaceutical companies analyze Alzheimer's disease-related data faster. Developed with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Datavant, the platform provides access to large, diverse datasets and advanced analytics—using deidentified, privacy-protected healthcare data—designed to accelerate scientific discovery, shorten drug development timelines and improve identification of patients for clinical trial recruitment. The platform enables researchers, biopharma companies, payors and contract research organizations to generate insights in minutes that previously required months of intensive data mining.

Myriad Genetics Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine, today announced that Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has approved the use of the MyChoice® Test for prostate cancer patients as a companion diagnostic for Lynparza® (olaparib). With this approval, clinicians can now order the MyChoice Test to determine homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status for patients with ovarian cancer, and BRCA1/2 status for breast and prostate cancers.

At present, domestic blood typing instruments have covered microplate, MGT, tube method, and other international mainstream test methods, and they can provide highly automatic and standardized blood typing process, which play an important role in clinical transfusion. Current status of domestic blood typing instruments is mainly characterized by normative, standard and convenient operation; high sensitivity and excellent accuracy; high test efficiency; open reagent; intuitive, stable, reliable, clear and easy to save results; and data management by PC.

Roche (SIX: RO, ROP; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that its Elecsys® Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) test has received CE mark approval for the detection of neuroinflammation in patients diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).1 The test brings meaningful innovation to MS disease management, offering clinicians a minimally invasive way to monitor the biological damage caused by multiple sclerosis. Using a simple blood test to measure NfL – a protein released during nerve cell injury – Elecsys NfL provides a picture of the neuroinflammation associated with multiple sclerosis, and could help to make more regular monitoring a reality for more people living with the disease.

Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, a Danaher company and global leader in clinical diagnostics, today announced it has received CE 2797 mark under IVDR for the Access MeMed BV assay, enabling broad availability of a high-throughput host‑response test that helps clinicians differentiate between bacterial and viral infections in approximately 20 minutes.

Junction, the infrastructure platform for diagnostic testing and health data workflows, today announced a collaboration with GRAIL to support scalable access to the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test across digital health platforms and clinical organizations.

Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) and Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, today announced an expanded collaboration to advance precision oncology through innovative applications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions across the healthcare ecosystem. Projects are expected to include promoting equitable access to cancer biomarker testing by bringing it closer to patients through new distributed test offerings; generating evidence to facilitate payer coverage; and developing new tests to address areas of unmet need.

Korea's diagnostics industry is buzzing as the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) moves to expand the range of conditions that can be tested with home diagnostic kits to include influenza and sexually transmitted diseases. Market growth expectations are rising as diagnostic kits previously restricted to professional use become available to general consumers. Companies are accelerating development of self-testing kits in response to the policy shift.

To ensure the quality and safety of medical services in primary healthcare institutions, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) and other relevant authorities issued a notice on 1 April 2026, outlining a three-year nationwide action.
