SINGAPORE: Scientists from various disciplines are coming together to tackle the
prevalence of cancer in Asia -- by working on novel therapies and translating
research ideas to the clinic faster.
They will do so under the Integrated
Translational Oncology Network, which was launched on Wednesday by Bayer
HealthCare.
The research partners include the National
University of Singapore, National Cancer Centre Singapore and the Agency for
Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).
Through the network, scientists will discuss
their research projects at different phases.
They will share their strategic vision, as
well as jointly develop and evaluate novel treatment options in projects and
trials.
They will also organise activities, such as
annual meetings, workshops and lectures, and link their network and activities
to other leading centres in Asia.
