Over the last decade, there have been a number of breakthroughs in molecular diagnostics. In 2011, the analysis of fetal DNA in maternal plasma was successfully translated into a clinical non-invasive prenatal test for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies such as Down syndrome. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA test for non-invasive screening of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), which is a common cancer in Hong Kong and the southern part of China, was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2017 as a life-saving tool in asymptomatic persons. The three leading scientists behind these milestones, Professors Dennis Lo, Allen Chan, Rossa Chiu have come together to establish the Centre for Novostics in Hong Kong.
