Piramal Healthcare will acquire Bayer’s molecular-imaging R&D portfolio for an undisclosed sum.

Piramal says the portfolio has a potential value of $1.5 billion. The deal marks Piramal’s second acquisition of a late-stage asset; last year, the Indian firm bought a cartilage repair product that has since been approved in Europe.
