Volunteer recruitment for St. John's Island resistome project


  • Ola Beach Club @ Sentosa 46 Siloso Beach Walk 099005 Singapore (map)

Have you ever accidentally swallowed some seawater while enjoying activities in Singapore’s beaches? Research has shown that pathogenic bacteria lurk in seawater, and may have an effect on your body! We are studying this phenomenon to understand the transmission of antibiotic resistance from the environment to humans.

We are looking for 240 volunteers for this study.

We are setting up a booth by the beach at Ola Beach Club @ Sentosa to recruit as many volunteers as possible.

All we ask is for you to fill a short survey and give us a single poop sample!

An attractive reimbursement of $50 will be provided for your participation.

Come and see us there!

Alternatively, please email or call hsivan29@nus.edu.sg, HP: 97660356 (Ms. Haripriya) to indicate your interest.

We do actively looking for volunteers, please do contact us even if you can’t go there or missed the event!
