This record number of acknowledgments follows a year of substantial investment for Abcam to enable life sciences researchers from academia and industry to advance discoveries and deliver faster breakthroughs.
First and foremost, Abcam was recognized for its initiatives to improve standards in the reagent industry. Its "Recombinant Multiclonal" range, which combines the benefits of recombinant monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, was awarded "Innovation of the Year" by a panel of experts while Abcam was highly commended in the "Recombinant Antibody Supplier of the Year" category. The Company also won the "Supplier Succeeding in KO Validation" award for its antibody validation program. All three awards demonstrate Abcam's commitment to continually improving scientific reproducibility in life sciences, which benefits the research community and society globally.
Prof. Giovanna Roncador, Head of the Monoclonal Antibodies Unit/Biotechnology Program at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO), Founder and Chair of EuroMabNet and recipient of the 2022 CiteAb award for "Significant Individual Impact" said: "As a cancer researcher and antibody engineer, I firmly believe that advancing science goes hand in hand with improving standards for reagent quality.
