VIVA-NUS Centre for Translational Research in Acute Leukaemia

The VIVA‑NUS Centre for Translational Research in Acute Leukaemia (CenTRAL) is a collaborative initiative between the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer (VIVA), enabled by a S$10 million contribution from donors and partners organised by VIVA. The Centre was officially launched on 4 March 2016.

CenTRAL aims to improve cure rates and quality of life for children with acute leukaemias in Singapore and the region by enabling more precise disease classification, prediction of treatment response and development of innovative therapies.

Led by Professor Allen Yeoh and Professor Dario Campana of the Department of Paediatrics at NUS Medicine, CenTRAL represents a landmark translational‑research collaboration advancing both scientific discovery and clinical care for children battling leukaemia.
