iHealthtech Principal Investigator Dr Jonathan Lee, together with a team of clinicians from National University Hospital (NUH), Duke-NUS, Singapore General Hospital (SGH), National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS), and the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), has secured $25 million in funding from the National Medical Research Council (NMRC) for a five-year research programme. The team aims to develop AI-driven tools for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of gastric cancer. Their research also explores leveraging the gut microbiome to develop predictive diagnostics, innovative treatments for peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer, and the use of genomic technologies to advance immunotherapy—efforts that could transform how gastrointestinal cancers are detected and treated.
