We are forging ahead with the tremendous challenge of supporting research amidst a global pandemic. Our ID programme aims to provide a holistic, patient-centric approach to infectious diseases that are relevant to Singapore and Asia. We plan to strengthen peaks of excellence in deep pathogen-specific knowledge and expertise, particularly in molecular genetics and animal modelling. Our main areas of focus are Bacterial AMR, Emerging Viruses and Vaccine and Therapeutics Development. With our members from basic science and clinical field working hand in hand, we aim to build a community with a sense of belonging while establishing a regional and international research network. Our goal is to position ID TRP as the first choice for students, research fellows and academics by providing a nurturing and cutting-edge research environment.

Sincerely,
