 ng the Laboratory of Cancer Genetics. In 2007\, Prof. Teh was appointed th
 e founding Director of the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS)-VARI la
 boratory\, which serves as a bridge between translational research and cli
 nical medicine.  In 2010\, he received the STaR award and relocated to Sin
 gapore and is currently a full professor.  His laboratory focuses on genom
 ic studies of cancers common among Asian populations\, using tools such as
  high-throughput genomic platforms and correlation studies with clinico-pa
 thological information.  In the last three years\, his group\, in collabor
 ation with others\, has made significant advances in bile duct cancer\, T-
 cell lymphoma\, and kidney cancer.  Moving forward\, his lab will shift em
 phasis to downstream works including transgenic animal modeling\, syntheth
 ic lethal screening\, and other functional studies in cancer.  Prof. Teh h
 as published extensively over 290 publications in high impact scientific j
