At-home cancer tests that could detect the disease even in the absence of symptoms? They could very well be a possibility in the future.

Dr Zhou is the Chief Executive Officer of MiRXES, a biotechnology company he co-founded with Chief Technology Officer Dr Zou Ruiyang, that specialises in producing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to detect early stage cancer. The company brings to life his vision, running with the ethos that prevention is better than cure, and that early detection enables early interception, leading to early treatment and subsequently, saved and improved lives.
