Over the years, the company has forged strategic partnerships with public health agencies, academic institutions and major diagnostic firms to accelerate product innovation and market access. Its collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for example, has helped shape guidelines for HIV self-testing and expand community-based screening initiatives worldwide.

Under the leadership of President and CEO Douglas A. Michels, OraSure continues to invest in research and development to broaden its diagnostic pipeline, advance digital health initiatives and explore novel biomarker technologies. With a focus on improving patient access, delivering accurate results and enabling decentralized testing, the company aims to address unmet needs in infectious-disease diagnostics, genomics and therapeutic monitoring.
