REDMOND, Wash., June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ImmuID, an alliance of Pharmefex, Sync.MD, and X-CELLSYSTEM, is pleased to announce the appointment of Linda S. Barnes and Ali R. Siahpush, Ph.D. as members of the alliance's executive board.

Based in the State of Washington, the fast-growing health alliance has designed an integrated and comprehensive end-to-end system to manage the massive task of getting Americans safely and responsibly back to work following the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re delighted to welcome Linda S. Barnes and Ali R. Siahpush, Ph.D. as members of ImmuID’s executive board, and look forward to leveraging their industry expertise in helping people return to work and re-engage our economy safely, quickly and efficiently.”

ImmuID accelerates the speed at which large numbers of employees can be tested. The alliance's systematic risk-based approach, which includes a daily symptom tracker, as well as a convenient platform for testing employees, is especially designed to avoid a resurgence of COVID-19 cases until a vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be available to protect employees.

With more than 25 years of experience in complex healthcare delivery operations, Linda S. Barnes, founder and Chief Executive Officer of X-CELLSYTEM, has an extensive background in cell therapies, blood services, public health research, quality assurance and regulatory affairs pertaining to blood and transfusion services and tissues.

"I'm excited to be part of this unique alliance of forward-thinking companies and be among the first few organizations in the nation to design a comprehensive and tested end-to-end system of getting people back to work and monitoring risk ongoing," Linda S. Barnes said.

"Employers are grappling with a systematic approach for workforce management that offers flexibility, adaptability, monitoring, and compliance. ImmuID's approach is a first step in effectively mitigating safety issues as employers bring their valued employees back to work and mitigate the unnecessary spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus," Barnes added.

With over 27 years' experience in cell therapy and biologics development and commercialization, Ali R. Siahpush, Ph.D., President and Founder of Pharmefex, has advised numerous cell and gene therapy clients on a vast array of CMC topics. Before founding Pharmefex, Siahpush was Vice President of Product Development and Manufacturing Science at Dendreon. Prior to joining Dendreon, he spent nearly 20 years at Amgen in a number of capacities culminating as Executive Director of global process development.  

"I'm proud to play a role in helping our nation to re-emerge safely, quickly, and efficiently from the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it has caused," Ali R. Siahpush noted.

"ImmuID's approach ensures that Americans have the safest transition back to work and reopen our economy," Siahpush added.

"We're delighted to welcome Linda and Ali to our executive team and look forward to leveraging their industry expertise as we establish new partnerships with employers around the country. With their successful track record, we know that Linda and Ali will make an immediate impact in helping people return to work and re-engage our economy safely, quickly, and efficiently," said Eugene Luskin, the Chief Executive Officer of Sync.MD and a member of ImmuID's executive board.
