PCI Positions MyGenome as Southeast Asia’s Reference Laboratory for Drug Interaction Safety Science
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alps Group Inc (“Alps” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: ALPS), an integrated biotechnology platform headquartered in Malaysia, today announced the launch of its Pharmaco-Interaction (PCI) laboratory unit within its MyGenome subsidiary, with CYP450 inhibitory IC50 testing debuting as its first commercial service offering.
The MyGenome laboratory facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, home to the newly launched Pharmaco-Interaction (PCI) unit.
PCI will start with cytochrome P450 (CYP450) inhibitory IC50 testing across seven major enzyme isoforms (CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, and CYP2E1), collectively responsible for metabolizing approximately 90% of marketed clinical drugs, supporting safe use, regulatory compliance, and consumer confidence. FDA and EMA guidelines recommend CYP inhibition evaluation for clinical and botanical drugs. PCI will make this service available to herbal and supplement manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions.
“Every service we launch is a building block toward becoming Southeast Asia’s integrated life sciences reference platform,” said Dr. Tham Seng Kong, Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Alps Group Inc. “The region has a significant and growing herbal and botanical products industry, yet access to accredited CYP inhibition testing has remained limited. PCI addresses that gap converting our scientific infrastructure into a revenue-generating capability that meets the regulatory standards already demanded by the market.”
“The assumption that all natural products are inherently safe, especially in consumption with prescription drugs, is one of the most persistent misconceptions in healthcare,” said Professor Nik Soriani, PCI Scientific Lead at MyGenome. “CYP450 inhibition testing is already recommended by the FDA and EMA for clinical and botanical products. PCI intends to make that standard accessible to manufacturers and researchers across Southeast Asia. We are building the reference laboratory Southeast Asia has been missing.”

PCI joins a growing suite of high-value B2B services within Alps’ laboratory portfolio, as the Company expands its capabilities across precision oncology, genomics, and translational research, with the goal of establishing Malaysia as a regional hub for ethical life science services.
