Men aged 30 to 40 are needed for Singapore’s quest to map the DNA of 100,000 Singaporeans as part of research to find new ways of predicting and preventing diseases here and in Asia.
Making this call on Friday after the official launch of the study, its lead investigator, Prof John Chambers of Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), said he has observed that working adults below 40, particularly men, find it difficult to make time for the study. It involves a check-up that lasts an average of about five hours.
