Clairvest Acquires Boca Biolistics to Accelerate Growth of Infectious Disease and Oncological Biobanking Capabilities

Overview

Clairvest has acquired Boca Biolistics to accelerate the growth of the company’s infectious disease and oncological biobanking capabilities.

Significance

Precision medicine has blossomed into one of the highest growth market segments of the healthcare industry, valued at ~$60 billion today and projected to grow to $800 billion by 2028. Biobanks, and the genetic insights they provide, form an essential bridge from traditional to precision medicine and its promise of new, more effective therapies tailored to precise genomic signatures.

Founded in 2007, Boca Biolistics (Boca) is a leading clinical research organization (CRO) and biomaterials company focused on the procurement, storage, and sale of human biological samples (specializing in infectious diseases and oncology) used for clinical trials and diagnostic development. Boca has a strong reputation as a trusted vendor in the industry and sources samples from its proprietary network of collection sites internationally. The Company also offers in-house analytical laboratory testing and characterization services for internal and third-party samples.

Boca’s high growth profile and differentiated positioning within the biobanking industry made it the ideal acquisition for Clairvest’s ongoing multi-year domain effort in the life sciences industry.
