当商业在公共卫生危机的转角处遇上科学

新冠疫情肆虐的这一年多以来,筛检测试“testing”这个词,无人不知,无人不晓,哪怕是对其背后的科学原理一知半解,但大家都了解一旦出现确诊病例,所有和确诊者有过接触的,甚至是当地社群都必须进行检测,以便展开跟踪和追踪,阻断传播链。但随着变异病毒的出现,就算是全剂量疫苗接种,也有可能出现突围感染,群体免疫的概念渐行渐远,在往后一段长时间里,检测也许就会成为群体生活作息的常态。但想要检测成为促进商业和日常生活作息正常化的工具,它就必须变得更廉价、更方便使用、更快速且准确地取得检测结果。

在此背景下,香港的医疗科技公司Prenetics从一家从事基因测试的公司,在疫情开始爆发后的三个月内随即推出核酸测试,今年初更是买下牛津大学的spinout Oxsed的分子测试技术 molecular-based testing,以推出迅速、及时、高效、便宜的测试盒,为香港和英国机场恢复跨境活动,甚至为新一季英超联赛做足检测准备工作。

该公司是如何在那么短的时间内,无论是技术或者市场覆盖层面,都能够扩大触角?一家从事医疗保健的私人公司,既为盈利,也在服务着公共卫生,到底要如何在盈利和非盈利之间取得一个平衡?   

这一集节目我们再一次进行跨境访问,并邀请 Prenetics Chief Financial Officer 首席财务官 Stephen Lo和我们聊聊他们从事核酸检测的心得。
