Elderly Singaporeans aged 80-90 who have no chronic diseases are being recruited for a research study to establish a local control set of healthy genomes. The study involves a home visit of less than 1.5 hours where volunteers will fill out a questionnaire and provide a small blood sample. No further procedures or contact will occur after the single home visit. Interested individuals should contact Associate Professor Roger Foo to participate.

HEALTHY ELDERLY in Singapore
We are recruiting volunteers for research.
We are actively seeking Elderly Singaporeans who are willing to donate a blood sample for DNA sequencing. The purpose of this research is to establish a local control set of healthy genomes for all future reference. You will be eligible for the study if you are aged 80-90 and have no chronic disease, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. If you contact us for the study, we will only need to pay you a home visit that should last no longer than 1 hours at a mutually convenient time. During the home visit*, we will go through a questionnaire with you and take a small blood sample. *No further procedure or contact will take place after this home visit.
