World’s First miRNA-based Early Gastric Cancer Detection Test – Made Possible with SS 656

At the current rate, new cancer cases globally will increase by 47% by 20401. This creates a demand for early cancer detection tests that are quick, effective and non-invasive. To address this need, DxD Hub collaborated with A*STAR spinoff MiRXES, as well as the Singapore Gastric Cancer Consortium, National University Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital to develop GASTROClear, the world’s first blood-based microRNAs (miRNAs) test for early gastric cancer detection. ...

Ecoliving System Pte Ltd: SS 554 an integral part in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic

Assessment of indoor air quality has become prevalent to the society today when the COVID-19 pandemic impeded global activities and individual’s interaction habits. Recent studies done by National University of Singapore and World Health Organization have shown that the airborne transmission of the virus is highly virulent, resulting in rapid infection in communities. Mitigation measures such as face-masking has proven to reduce the number of infections as illustrated in the studies. ...
