GenScript Biotech Corporation, based in New Jersey, has expanded its offerings at its Singapore facility, adding a premium gene synthesis service, a press release reported.
"The expansion of our cutting-edge facility in Singapore boosts GenScript's gene synthesis production capabilities, enabling us to meet the exacting demands of our regional biotech clients," president of GenScript Asia-Pacific, Johnson Wang, said. "The combination of GenScript's fast-turnaround molecular biology services and the expertise of our experienced scientific and commercial teams positions GenScript to provide the best custom service to the region."
Spanning 976 square meters, the new addition will bring Genscript’s Singapore facility’s production floor to a total of 3,500 square meters, making it the company’s largest establishment worldwide. In correlation with the expansion, Genscript now counts with the support of 150 team members.
The expansion follows the opening of a new recombinant protein production facility in February 2022.
“This marks a significant expansion of the company's advanced gene-synthesis capability and enables GenScript to provide the premium service levels required for novel vaccine and therapeutics development in life sciences,” a recent press release states.
The establishment’s workstations have been designed to synthesize over 400 genes daily with precise measurement, limiting human errors. Through this expansion, the company aims to minimize turnaround time for global clients and protect consumer data, as well as support cell and gene therapy research and vaccine development programs.
"We understand that global supply is a huge challenge, and we remain committed to expanding our reach to meet the increasing demand for our customers worldwide," said Dr. Ray Chen, president of GenScript's Life Science Group. "At GenScript, we take great pride in our ability to provide reliable and efficient solutions to our customers, and we are fully committed to delivering on this promise. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we remain dedicated to providing the highest-quality products and services to our customers, wherever they may be located."
