❗ Chronic acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is more than just discomfort—it's a potential precursor to esophageal cancer. Recognise the signs: acid backwash, chest pain, chronic coughing, nausea and persistent sore throat.

Long standing reflux may potentially cause:
👉 Inflammation of the lower gullet (Oesophagitis)
👉 Severe long standing inflammation can cause narrowing of the gullet lumen (Stricture)
👉 Changes to the cells of the lower oesophagus, or Barrett's esophagus—patients with Barrett's oesophagus suffer a higher risk of esophageal cancer compared to the general population.

Safeguard your health by speaking with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms, early detection is key. 🔑

The Singapore Cancer Society’s Relay For Life event last weekend resonated with hope, as participants ran for a future where can be cured. At Mirxes, this hope fuels our daily work. We’re dedicated to developing accurate and accessible cancer early detection tools, transforming this hope into a tangible reality for all cancer patients.

🩺 Education
🩺 Clean air and water
🩺 Good nutrition
🩺 Decent working and environmental conditions
🩺 Freedom from discrimination

At , we are aligned with this year’s World Health Day theme. That's why we're dedicated to making our early disease detection tests more accessible, so more people can take charge of their health.

This World Health Day, let's be grateful for our access to clean resources, healthy living conditions and more early disease detection tests 💚

Did you know that April marks World Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month?

During this month, our efforts are dedicated to raising awareness about esophageal cancer, educating on its risk factors, symptom recognition, and prevention strategies. It's a moment to stand together with those affected by the disease and support initiatives for early detection and improved treatment alternatives.

Let's come together to raise awareness and create meaningful change in the fight against esophageal cancer! 💜

At 's D&D earlier this month, Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Lihan Zhou shared his insights on how Mirxes has made it this far.

• Purpose: From the beginning, Chairman Prof. Too Heng-Phon, Dr. Zhou Lihan and Dr. Zou Ruiyang are driven by a simple yet resolute goal: saving lives through early disease detection using RNA technologies. Even if it is just one life.

• Perseverance: The first VC funding took 600+ pitches to secure, the first regulatory approval required 7,000+ samples, and the public took 18 years to be familiar with RNA and PCR. Things were not always rosy.

• People: Chairman Too's 20-year RNA scientific pursuit combined with Lihan and Ruiyang's entrepreneurial drive 10 years ago laid the foundation. Over time, countless colleagues, partners and stakeholders have contributed to the Mirxes cause. It takes a village to build a brand.

Purpose, Perseverance, and People (3Ps) are key to Mirxes’s successes and milestones in the first decade of our existence. It is important that we continue to focus on these three pillars to propel us to even greater heights in the next decade.

As we honour International Women's Day today, let's rally to .

Women's health deserves our attention, and by acknowledging and addressing their health concerns, we empower them to make informed decisions. In Singapore, issues like breast, ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers persist, making it crucial to raise awareness.

Have you heard? HPV, the human papillomavirus, is a common virus impacting both skin and mucous membranes. It's the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection worldwide, often associated with cervical and pe**le cancers.

Vaccinating against HPV not only shields individuals but also fosters herd immunity, benefitting those with weakened immune systems who can't receive the vaccine.

Join us in building a healthier tomorrow—vaccinate today! 💉

🦷✨ Here’s your reminder to floss your teeth regularly amidst the CNY feasting!
Neglecting flossing can disrupt the oral microbiome, allowing harmful bacteria to grow. These bacteria may enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to inflammation and cancer development, including pancreatic cancer.

Chronic inflammation, linked to cancer progression, can result from poor oral health. This weakens the immune system's ability to control inflammation and combat cancer cells.

Regular flossing is crucial for maintaining oral health and supporting overall well-being. Let’s adopt good oral habits together, keeping your smile bright and supporting overall health. Take charge of your well-being today! 🪥💙

Good things come in pairs; the dragon arises and love is in the air, double the festivities for extra special memories! If you are planning for children, there’s no better way to welcome your future dragon baby.

Do remember to consider carrier screening to check if you and your partner may be carriers of any recessive hereditary conditions, and consult your doctor or gynaecologist or visit https://rb.gy/m6iorc for more information.

Here’s a hint: it's a tradition steeped in culture!


An ang pow, also known as red packet, is a monetary gift given as tokens of good wishes during auspicious occasions such as Chinese New Year (CNY) and weddings. Red is considered a symbol of luck, life and happiness.

Traditionally, ang pows were given to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck during special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and CNY. From a senior to a younger person, it symbolises a blessing.

the money packed in an ang pow should be an even number? This is because the numbers are considered lucky and auspicious. It is also considered ill-mannered to open red packets in the presence of the giver and other people.

Let's embrace the history of this tradition and invite a Lunar New Year of prosperity, joy and blessings ✨

Embrace the upcoming Lunar New Year with these health tips to keep your mind and body in harmony 🍊

Did you know? 4 February is Cancer Awareness Day. The lavender ribbon symbolizes general cancer awareness, honoring those affected. This day emphasises ongoing research for new treatments and a cure for various cancer types.

Detecting cancer at an early stage opens up a broader spectrum of treatment options. Medical interventions, such as surgery and chemotherapy, are often more effective when initiated in the early stages of the disease. Together, let's make early detection the norm and save lives. 💜🌐

You may want to think about including screening for carrier state of common recessive hereditary conditions. These tests check if you and your partner are carriers of any recessive hereditary conditions which either or both of you may pass on to your future children.

Consult your gynaecologist or family doctor about recessive hereditary conditions and carrier screenings, or visit https://rb.gy/m6iorc for more information.

A little planning goes a long way!

Navigating your healthcare journey may seem overwhelming, but fear not! We're here to guide you through women's health with clarity.

Pre-Appointment Tips
Your healthcare provider may provide specific instructions, like avoiding in*******se or certain products.

Understanding the Procedure
There are two primary methods - Pap smear and HPV test - being used. The Pap smear collects cells from the cervix, and the HPV test checks for the virus. 🧬

Speculum Insertion
A speculum is gently inserted into the va**na, enabling a clear view of the cervix. A spatula will be used to collect cells for analysis. While generally painless, some may experience mild discomfort.

Post Procedure
After removing the speculum, the collected sample is prepared for lab analysis. Your healthcare provider may share immediate observations. Results usually arrive within a few days to weeks. 🔬
