Danaher Life Sciences and Genomic Medicines companies are speeding the translation of discoveries into therapies by enabling researchers across academia, industry, government, and non-profits to scale and accelerate their research and development processes.

Faster, less costly, more accessible therapeutics

Danaher’s Life Sciences and Genomic Medicines companies are innovating new solutions to support researchers as they overcome some of the most pressing challenges in biomedicine.  

More efficient drug discovery and development

Today: Drug development processes are slow, inefficient, and cumbersome. Tomorrow: Advanced therapies are discovered, developed, and deployed using streamlined, reproducible processes. 

More diversity in drug development

Increasing diversity in clinical trials, from pre-clinical through clinical stages, is essential to creating safe and effective therapeutics for everyone.  

Combined data modalities for greater insights

From layering omics data onto images to connecting early-stage R&D data through clinical and commercial applications, the need to intelligently combine data modalities has never been greater.

Translatable clinical models

Safe, effective drugs begin with high-fidelity models that set them up for the greatest possible success.

Scalable and reproducible data

Trustworthy tools and processes are the cornerstone of enabling our customers’ most innovative ideas to become reality.  

Manufacturing and regulatory solutions

Great ideas in biomedicine only matter if they reach patients. We help by streamlining manufacturing and helping ensure compliance and safety.

Solving problems across the therapeutic ecosystem

With an industry-spanning portfolio of leading technologies, specialized tools, and deep expertise, we have the perspective and reach to provide new ways to better measure and understand disease mechanisms and standardize the best-in-class processes that will define the next era of R&D. 

Bringing solutions together

Our depth and breadth of expertise—and customer relationships—across many kinds of instrumentation and data collection enables us to think beyond point solutions and toward workflows that solve broader challenges.

Trusted partner for product manufacturing and characterization

We pride ourselves on our track record of credibility across the life sciences space, from building the solutions that power the overwhelming majority of commercially available CAR-Ts, to creating the first high-fidelity and broadly available Cas-9 proteins, to pioneering the gold standard for AAV characterization. 

Partnerships for greater impact

We are proud to partner with the world’s leading scientific minds through the Danaher Beacons program, identifying and solving challenges via applied research toward new product development. Our collaborations span disciplines to pioneer end-to-end solutions for our customers for maximum reliability and impact. 

Address regulatory challenges

Emerging genomic medicines face unique regulatory challenges. We work with our customers and collaborators, such as the Innovative Genomics Institute, to shape solutions that can increase access to these life changing medicines. 

Innovation by the numbers

55%
