Onkološka diagnostična elektrarna naslednje generacije bo ponujala široko paleto inovativnih in najsodobnejših izdelkov za teste na tkivih in tekočinah, več diagnostičnih tehnoloških platform, vključno z NGS, digitalno PCR in genskimi čipi. Portfelj vključuje tudi storitve, ki pokrivajo vrste raka na vseh različnih stopnjah klinične uporabe, ter pomoč farmacevtskim podjetjem pri razvoju spremljevalne diagnostike in odkrivanju zdravil.

According to GLOBOCAN’s latest cancer statistics, there were an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and 9.9 million cancer deaths occurred worldwide in 2020, among which 49.3% of all cases and 58.3% of cancer deaths are estimated to have occurred in Asia.

Združena skupina ima štiri laboratorije v popolni lasti, dva v Hongkongu, enega v Tajpeju in enega v Bangkoku, med katerimi so trije (Hong Kong in Tajpej) akreditirani pri CAP. Skupina ima tudi laboratorij, akreditiran s strani CAP, v Kanagawi (Japonska) v okviru skupnega podjetja s Canon Medical Systems in še en na novo ustanovljen laboratorij v Tajpeju v okviru drugega skupnega podjetja s podjetjem Cerba Research za IHC/pretočno citometrijo. Razširjeno podjetje je prisotno v Hongkongu, Tajpeju, Tokiu, Singapurju, Bangkoku in Walesu (UK). To pomaga spodbujati sinergijsko konkurenčno prednost pri služenju medicinskim in farmacevtskim skupnostim na terenu v Aziji in Evropi.

Dr. Hua Chien Chen, CEO of ACT Genomics, says “The union of ACT Genomics and Sanomics will significantly broaden our horizon in terms of product offerings, business strategy and vision. The combined group will be better able to take advantage of our respective clear leadership positions and form a next generation oncology diagnostics powerhouse with a keen devotion to ESG in Asia.”

Dr. Tony Mok, Chairman of Sanomics, says “We are excited to join the ACT Genomics big family. Our team is ready to make meaningful contributions to the enlarged group with our technical expertise, especially in the field of lung cancer, as well as firsthand clinical experience. The synergy and combined resources will enable us to provide more comprehensive solutions and better services to clinicians and put patients first. This merger will enable us to further extend our reach to more patients and pharmaceutical companies in further geographies.”

Dr. Tony Mok je zdaj postal predsednik ACT Genomics.

Both ACT Genomics and Sanomics were awarded the Elite Program funding by HKSTP. On top of solid endorsement given by industry experts, the grants have been fully used in Research & Development which is the core value of the enlarged group’s culture in technology excellence.

Albert Wong, CEO of HKSTP says, “As HKSTP approaches 20 years of leading innovation in Hong Kong, we continue to forge the strongest I&T ecosystem to support for all park companies grow and thrive. We are delighted to witness the merger of two healthtech pioneers in Science Park which signifies the continuous growth of our vibrant ecosystem and healthtech market. With the government’s support and new infrastructure and talent in place, Hong Kong is primed for lift-off as healthtech businesses expand and spearhead development in the Greater Bay Area and beyond.”
