Research Highlights

Precision Medicine research is part of Singapore’s RIE2025 strategic goal to transform and protect the health of every Singaporean.

Our research will focus on accelerating health research by combining genetic, lifestyle, clinical data and other molecular technologies to understand how these factors impact health and/or contribute to disease.

We hope to generate new findings that will inform healthcare practices with the goal of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
