👨🔬 S’pore researchers receive $25m grant to tackle lung cancer in Asian patients
Researchers have received a $25 million grant to work on tackling lung cancer in Asian patients across all stages – from risk prediction and early detection of those who are at risk, to personalised treatments of patients at more advanced stages of the illness. Their research project called Clarion (Conquering Lung Cancer Across All Stages with Research and Innovation) would build on more than a decade of research undertaken by a multidisciplinary team led by the National Cancer Centre Singapore, together with researchers from @astar_gis (@waileongtam and @anders_js), A*STAR IMCB and A*STAR IHPC, and the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore.

This has been a massive undertaking since I started #chualabnccs 7y ago!
So pleased to see our work published @CellCellPress where we posit a novel model that #TIME delineates progression trajectories of distinct #NPC phenotypes: https://t.co/uF3QksBVDD
Thanks to everyone and friends who backed the work this whole time @DrGopalIyer@JoeYeong
@EricTopol Did they ask same participants about both alcohol and opioid consumption? Both graphs have somewhat similar peaks, making me think people took alcohol and opioid together
@isabelpochet@ThePhDPlace@PhD_Genie Yes, even if 50%. Because most of the interesting papers come from cross field studies, it is a really good value that you would bring to the table.
