Cedric Wu
Senior Vice President, Innovation @ GenScript
About
I build scalable commercial platforms, reliable manufacturing lines, and sustainable revenue from complex biomedical discoveries.As a cross-functional executive, my expertise lies in bridging traditionally isolated fields—like semiconductor microelectronics, advanced engineering, and deep life sciences—into highly synchronized, execution-focused teams. I balance rigorous technical oversight with strong operational judgment, regularly directing cross-site technology transfers, throughput optimization, and strict quality systems.My portfolio includes 50+ patent applications alongside a history of delivering technically complex products to market. These span high-throughput nucleic acid synthesis, synthetic biology, lab-on-chip, and AI-enabled product strategy.I am drawn to problems where deep science meets massive market scale. We are moving into a Cambrian era of biotechnology, and I believe the next generation of industry growth belongs to leaders who can explicitly connect technical innovation to business execution.
