Diagnostics & Biomedical Technologies

Featured diagnostics biomedical technologies

Researchers in the Diagnostics and Biomedical Technologies organization are developing breakthrough technologies that provide diagnostic and patient monitoring solutions to physicians for improving patient care and increasing the efficiency of the healthcare system. We work closely with GE Healthcare to define the areas of greatest impact, and to develop innovations that they can commercialize to help in providing widespread access to quality and affordable healthcare globally.

The researchers in Diagnostics and Biomedical Technologies continue to be at the forefront of exciting breakthroughs in imaging, as we explore and develop new ways for clinicians to see inside the human body. Our vision is to transform healthcare from “see and treat” to “predict and prevent” and to develop technologies that promote wellness. Along these lines, we also develop technologies for physiological monitoring and life support systems such as anesthesia and platforms for maternal and infant care. Our researchers also exploit the understanding of the molecular and cellular origins of diseases to develop molecular diagnostic tests and targeted imaging agents. In addition, we work on technologies in bioprocess, protein sciences, cell biology and other aspects of Life Sciences to aid our pharma, biotech and academic research customers in developing novel treatments and better understanding of human diseases. These activities have the potential to lead to earlier diagnosis, better disease prognosis, new treatments, more efficient monitoring of therapeutic efficacy, and, ultimately, better patient care.
