A*Star Infectious Diseases Labs (ID Labs)
A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs was set up in April 2021 to co-ordinate disease-specific research efforts that have been built over the years within the A*STAR organisation. Using clinical surveillance, ID Labs aim to nip any emerging pathogen in the bud before it can cause an outbreak.
ID Labs' role will complement and support PREPARE, the national research programme for epidemic preparedness and response, to prepare the nation from future outbreaks.
