BMRC Research Institutes & Consortia
The Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) oversees seven research institutes (RIs) and other research units that serve to support key industry clusters in Biomedical Sciences such as pharmaceuticals, medical technology, biotechnology and healthcare services.
The BMRC research institutes focus on building up core biomedical capabilities in the areas of bioprocessing; chemical synthesis; genomics and proteomics; molecular and cell biology; bioengineering and nanotechnology; and computational biology.
In addition, A*STAR also places great emphasis on translating new knowledge and technologies created at the "benches" into new clinical applications for diagnosis and treatment that can one day be delivered at the "bedsides" of our hospitals and disease centres.
For this reason, the Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) and Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences (SICS) were established to focus on translational and clinical research. BMRC has also established various consortia to coordinate and drive translational research at the national level in strategic thematic areas.
These consortia aim to consolidate existing research activities and scientific expertise, optimise the use of critical research resources, fill in gaps in research capabilities, as well as build sufficient synergy and critical mass to make Singapore's efforts in these areas internationally competitive.
