Enhanced research capability

The new NCCS has almost 10,000 square metres of space dedicated to advance cancer research, where scientists and clinician-scientists can collaborate and innovate to improve treatment outcomes.

The building houses the Cancer Discovery Hub, where scientists use specialised services and novel technologies to uncover the mechanics and development of cancer, and enhanced capacity and capability to conduct clinical trials of new cancer therapies. There is also space for strategic partners, such as the Advanced Cell Therapy and Research Institute, Singapore (ACTRIS), which aims to facilitate the discovery, process development and manufacturing of cellular-based therapeutics.

The building is also home to the NCCS Tissue Bank — a satellite of the SingHealth Tissue Repository — which banks tissue samples from Asian cancer patients. This will enable researchers to gain a better understanding of cancer evolution in Asian patients.

With operations at its new premises in full swing since March 2023, Professor William Hwang, Chief Executive Officer, NCCS, said, “The new NCCS building is geared to meet future healthcare needs and provide affordable, accessible care to all Singaporeans. Our new centre is built around patients’ needs, with larger, improved facilities and innovative care programmes run by dedicated healthcare teams. The ultimate goal is to provide holistic support every step of the cancer journey, so that NCCS serves as a beacon of hope for all our patients.”
