On November 11, 2024, the Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS), the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de l'Estrie - Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS de l'Estrie - CHUS) and bioMérieux, a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, announce a three-year agreement to create a Canadian center of excellence dedicated to the fight against antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic stewardship.

Two strategic infrastructures were inaugurated this year on the bioMérieux site of La Balme-les-Grottes (Isère, France): a plastic injection unit in June and a new-generation R&D building in September. The global specialist in in vitro diagnostics is continuing its investments in France, aiming to develop new solutions for public health worldwide.

SpinChip Diagnostics, in which bioMérieux has held an approximate 20% stake since March 2024, has just published results showing the very good performance of its high-sensitivity Point-of-Care (POC) cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay. This innovative assay, the first of its kind, could significantly improve the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

During this summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, several committees and national teams, including the Dutch delegation, will be using the BIOFIRE® range of PCR test solutions developed by bioMérieux to detect respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in their athletes.

GENE-UP® PEC assay is a real-time PCR-based AOAC validated solution for the meat, produce, and food safety industry.
