🚨 New Milestone in Cancer Research and Precision Medicine 🚨
We are excited to announce the launch of a joint organoid research laboratory by Next&Bio and the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS)

This strategic collaboration aims to:
🔬 Build Asia’s largest organoid biobank from Asian cancer patients
🌏 Advance precision oncology with better population representation
💊 Develop innovative, animal-free preclinical drug testing platforms
📍 The agreement was officially signed on July 30 in Singapore, with key attendees including:
• Professor Ashok Venkitaraman, Director, CSI Singapore
• Dr. Sang-wook Park, CEO, Next&Bio
• Mr Jason Cho, Director, Next&Bio
• Representatives from K-Startup Center Singapore

💬 Prof. Venkitaraman shared:
“We are delighted to join forces with Next&Bio in this collaboration. Cancer organoids have emerged as important tools in the fight against cancer, but few currently represent the genetic diversity of cancers that occur amongst Singaporeans. The reproducible and robust creation of organoids requires a high level of expertise, which Next&Bio has already developed. So my colleagues and I believe that this research collaboration will help us to better understand Asian cancers to develop new treatments that benefit Singapore’s cancer patients.”

This partnership marks a significant step forward in inclusive and globally impactful translational cancer research.

We are pleased to share that our Director, Professor Ashok Venkitaraman, was recently featured in a Channel News Asia (CNA) documentary titled “Innovations That Matter - To Super-Aged Societies”, part of the Innovations That Matter series.

In this episode, Prof. Venkitaraman discusses how advances in science and medicine can support healthier ageing as societies around the world—including Singapore—grapple with the challenges of an increasingly elderly population.

As a research community, it is important for us to be mindful of the implications of a super-aged society—both in terms of the opportunities it presents for scientific innovation, and the responsibility we have in shaping equitable, sustainable solutions for the future.

What an incredible afternoon at the Diana Koh Breakthroughs in Cancer Learning Series 2025! 💡🧬

Held at the Science Centre Singapore, the second installation of the Diana Koh Breakthroughs in Cancer Learning Series brought cancer science to life with engaging talks by Prof. Goh Boon Cher and Dr. Dennis Kappei. They helped the audience understand the latest in cancer research—no science background needed!

We also celebrated the next generation of cancer researchers with the Diana Koh Young Innovator Prize and the Diana Koh Young Innovator Grant, and were inspired by the presentations from our two prize winners through the relatable analogies and clear storytelling 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in making science accessible and meaningful.
