Research and diagnosis of infectious Risk Group 3 (RG3) biological agents require specially designed Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories, operating procedures and practices to ensure the personal, communal, and environmental protection. The Biosafety Level-3 (BSL-3) Core Facility<\/strong> at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine supports research and diagnostic work involving a range of RG3 biological agents.<\/p>\r\n

Our facility is certified by the Biosafety Branch, Ministry of Health (MOH) and Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS)<\/span>. Close to 50 researchers, from NUS and other non-NUS institutions including scientists from outside Singapore, have used our facility to conduct their research on diverse range of RG3 biological agents. The BSL-3 core facility also supports National Public Health Laboratory\u2019s activities, such as RG3 pathogen surveillance and national preparedness for effective outbreak management programme.<\/p>\r\n

The state-of-the-art facility offers users BSL-3 research space on a quarterly, monthly or yearly basis<\/a><\/strong>, all essential lab equipment as well as service packages for more advanced equipment such as flow cytometers and an aerosolization machine.<\/p>\r\n

With skilled personnel operating our facility, we are here to perform in vivo<\/em> and in vitro<\/em> research assistance with RG3 biological agents or samples contaminated with such agents.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Our Vision<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n

A leading centre of excellence for biorisk management and infectious disease research.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Our Mission<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n

We provide an excellent high-containment research facility that foster international collaborations for high impact translational research and promote biorisk through continuous education and training.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Research and diagnosis of infectious Risk Group 3 (RG3) biological agents require specially designed Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories, operating procedures and practices to ensure the personal, communal, and environmental protection.
