🧬 The Helix Immersion Programme (HIP) isn’t just about life in the lab—it’s about connecting the people behind the pipettes and projects, and the mentorship that shapes their journeys.   At our recent appreciation dinner, HIP fellows and mentors took a break from innovating and cell cultures to share stories and exchange ideas. CellVec Pte Ltd's Ann Koay, PhD, BioCell Innovations Pte Ltd’s Matthew Heng, Ph.D., and StratifiCare™ Pte. Ltd.’s Trinda Anne Ting reflected on how mentorship through HIP has guided them through adapting to new roles or building on their expertise.   Find out how HIP connects the biomed community: https://lnkd.in/giq6w7KW

🌍 Let’s #TechItAway: Every year, nearly 20 million people around the world hear the words "You have cancer." Yet, cancer screening rates remain low. For instance, in Singapore, only 4 out of 5 women go for breast cancer screenings. In this episode, we speak with the team behind a Singapore-developed technology that screens for 50 types of cancer using just two vials of blood 🩸—well before symptoms appear. 🩺 This less invasive approach to early detection gives patients a better chance at timely treatment. ⏳ 🔗 Read more about the startup Lucence and their tech here: https://lnkd.in/g39kakqa Min-Han Tan | Zi Yi Wan | Jess Vo

🤨How are #DeepTech startups contributing to the SDGs? Yesterday, guests at our inaugural 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐃𝐆𝐬 event caught a glimpse of how several Singapore-based companies have hardwired sustainability into their solutions. From reducing emissions in traditionally energy-intensive industries to materials that can remove carbon dioxide from the air - these startups are living proof that closing the gap on achieving the SDGs is not just a pipe dream.    Still, there is work to do. Following sharing from startups, panellists discussed how and why it remains critical for founders to build environmental and social impact into their business models from concept to commercialisation.    Thank you to our partners UNDP Global Centre, Singapore. We look forward to more fruitful events that raise awareness and provide actionable takeaways for our #DeepTech community.
