• Our Vision is to improve healthcare as a global provider of innovative and reliable diagnostic tests.
  • Our Mission is to identify and develop novel patentable diagnostic markers and technologies which can be commercialised to meet clinical needs, both in the laboratory and at the point of care.
  • We will collaborate with partners, create branded products and identify complementary businesses which support our objective of continuing to grow as a respected and profitable healthcare company.
  • Our Values include meeting all current and future regulatory, quality and environmental standards appropriate for our industry and the countries in which we operate.

We operate in areas where improved or new diagnostic tests are required for better disease management, particularly where current clinical practice is inadequate or where early disease diagnosis is difficult.

This is particularly evident in diseases associated with an increasingly elderly population, and thus Axis-Shield is researching new approaches in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, as well as topical areas of clinical need, such as sepsis and vitamin deficiency. Our main areas of activity are detailed within this section of our site.
