PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Apr 04, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Malaysian Genomics Resource Centre Berhad ("Malaysian Genomics" or "the Group"), a leading genomics and biopharmaceutical specialist, was recently awarded a COVID-19 surveillance contract by the Institute for Medical Research ("IMR"), the biomedical research arm of the Ministry of Health ("MOH").

Dato' Alvin Nesakumar, Executive Director of Malaysian Genomics, said, "We are pleased to support IMR and MOH in this important effort to monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 virus, its variants and sub-variants. With our expertise and knowledge in genomics and bioinformatics, we can help IMR track and trace the virus for any variants of concern that the Government needs to be informed of as well as prepare for."
