GenScript Receives "COVID Management Initiative of the Year" in Singapore Business Review Management Excellence Award 2021
SINGAPORE, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

GenScript receives the award on COVID Management Initiative of the Year, 
Biotechnology industry in the Singapore Business Review (SBR) Management 
Excellence Award 2021. GenScript showed strong commitment and support to global 
COVID-19 management including production of genes, proteins and peptides for 
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development around the world and launched first FDA EUA 
(Emergency Use Authorization) neutralization antibody test kit, cPass™ 
SARS-CoV-2 neutralization antibody detection kit.

The SBR Management Excellence Awards is organized by Singapore Business Review 
(SBR). Through the years, Singapore Business Review built its reputation and 
credibility not only as a publication, but as a recognizing body. SBR launched 
its first awards programme back in 2014 and has now become a recognised symbol 
of excellence for companies throughout Singapore and the Southeast Asia region. 
This year's winners were judged by an elite panel of judges from Ernst & Young 
Advisory Pte. Ltd, KPMG Singapore, Deloitte Southeast Asia, BDO Consultants Pte 
Ltd and Baker Tilly.

GenScript went through an intensive selection process by the judges based on 
the initiative and effectiveness implemented from the company to navigate 
current headwinds due to the pandemic and the impact it brought to the clients 
and public. The launch of cPass™ SARS-CoV-2 neutralization antibody detection 
kit is the key differentiator as it is part of the key for COVID-19 management. 
cPass™ neutralization antibody test can estimate vaccine induced protection for 
a population. At individual level, cPass™ result also shed light whether the 
vaccine worked for the individual. Induction of high neutralization antibody 
can confer protection and is a key success for vaccine developers. Since the 
launch of the kit, many clinics in Singapore have incorporated cPass™ test as 
part of the COVID-19 management and vaccine efficacy monitoring efforts. 

"It's a great honor to receive this award from SBR, this is a real testament on 
GenScript various efforts and solutions for combatting the pandemic, especially 
cPass™ that has provided strong scientific and emotional confidence for us to 
live with covid-19." said Dr. Li Yanfeng, head of IVD business development in 
GenScript Asia Pacific. 

With the recent emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VoC), Omicron, 
GenScript also plays a part to adapt cPass™ to detect neutralization antibody 
to Omicron, providing Omicron RBD/S1/N protein & oligo for vaccine studies, 
customized cell line for test kits development and lastly, to complement 
cPass™, Pseudovirus assay for detecting neutralizing antibodies to Omicron as a 
gold standard alternative.
