CSI PhD Student, Ms. Shruti Sridhar presented her research at the Singapore Lymphoma Scientific Symposium, held on 28 Aug 2026. Her work aims to identify patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who are at high risk of frontline relapse, supporting more informed clinical decision-making. The application is now being used by the NUH Lymphoma Tumour Board.

Our immune system is constantly looking for abnormal cells. But cancer cells can sometimes hide by suppressing the warning signals that would expose them.

Researchers from CSI Singapore at NUS have identified a protein called DDX6 that plays a key role in helping cancer cells stay hidden. When the researchers removed DDX6 in laboratory studies, these warning signals returned and tumour growth slowed.

The discovery could lead to new ways of helping the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells more effectively.

Researchers from CSI Singapore at NUS have developed qChIP-MS, a new way for studying how DNA is regulated inside cells. The method identifies groups of proteins working together at specific regions of chromatin, the structure that packages DNA in our cells. By mapping these protein networks, scientists can better understand how gene activity is controlled and how cells behave in both health and disease.

This technology could accelerate future studies in cancer biology and genome regulation, and help guide the development of new treatments for cancer, ageing and other diseases.
