Initially training as an infectious diseases physician and studying the immune system, Prof Ashok became fascinated by the mechanisms of multiple DNA rearrangements in the genome of immune cells,

Renowned cancer researcher, Prof Ashok Venkitaraman from NUS Centre for Cancer Research at #NUS Medicine, did not start out wanting to study cancer research.

Last week, CSI Singapore hosted an in-person CSI Distinguished Speakers' Series with speaker - Dr. Bernd Pulverer from @embo. He spoke on the topic 'Transparent Publishing: How Best to Share Reproducible High-quality Data'. #csisingapore #cancerresearch

It's the last day of the EMBO Chromatin Biology in Cancer Workshop 2024! We thank all our speakers, organisers, delegates and editors who were in attendance at this workshop 😊

Anirban Maitra Brilliant paper by Ashok Venkitaraman & team CSI Singapore. Unweaving the tangled web of metabolomics, DNA damage & oncogenesis ➡️ exception to Knudson's two hit hypothesis! Would be interesting to study this effect in RAS driven myeloid cancers Gautam Borthakur Vikram Mathews

We are happy to announce the inaugural “Diana Koh Breakthroughs in Cancer Learning Series” happening on 4 May 2024, 9am – 12pm.
