Labcorp is acquiring select BioReference Health assets from OPKO Health for $722 million, including clinical and specialized testing operations, more than 80 patient service centers, and the FDA-approved 4Kscore prostate cancer test. The deal expands Labcorp's diagnostics capabilities and access while allowing OPKO to focus on biopharmaceutical development.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Diagnostics.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Labcorp is doubling down on specialized testing and patient access while OPKO exits diagnostics for biopharma focus. If you build diagnostic tools or services beyond core labs, Labcorp could soon be your biggest potential acquirer or partner.
