Shaping a Healthier Future for Singapore and the World
Originally from a small town in Peru, Dr Anthony Torres-Ruesta’s deep interest in biological sciences and good grades opened doors to the possibility of becoming an infectious diseases researcher, to understand the mechanisms leading to disease and to develop therapeutic alternatives.
After receiving a European Commission Erasmus Mundus scholarship to study one year in France, Anthony heard about the research work done in Singapore – “the little red dot”, where he eventually embarked on a new journey with A*STAR. A SIPGA and SINGA awardee, he envisions to be an opinion leader in the interphase of basic research and public health. Importantly, his work during the COVID-19 pandemic helped shape Singapore’s national policies on vaccination and booster requirements in different populations.
