Singapore has made further advances in its effort to become a recognized center for biomedical science with the recruitment of senior researchers and their teams from the United States, United Kingdom and Japan, and the appointment of two prominent scientists from US organizations to its International Advisory Committee (IAC). Singapore aims to become not only the hub of biomedical research activity within Asia, but to attract scientists who might otherwise work in US laboratories.
