Overview

A*STAR provides the ideal environment to push the frontiers of science and engage in world-class research that will benefit the Singapore economy and society at large. Scientists can exploit a world-class research infrastructure at Biopolis and Fusionopolis, the twin biomedical sciences and physical sciences & engineering research hubs at one-north that provide a conducive environment in which to live, work, play and learn.

Each of A*STAR’s research units has a particular research focus geared towards producing meaningful and profitable outcomes for Singapore. They are supported by the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) and Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), which chart the research directions of A*STAR and spearhead it for success.

A*STAR’s firm belief in innovation to create solutions to solve the problems in the future also means that scientists are actively encouraged to work together to explore uncharted areas amongst scientific disciplines to design solutions to the pressing global problems of today.
