Imperial has opened its first overseas research and innovation centre in Singapore to strengthen collaboration between the UK and Singapore.
Imperial Global: Singapore will see Imperial’s scientists working closely with university, industry, government, and third-sector partners in Singapore.
The first research programme taking place at the new centre is a major S$20million grant in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to improve the security of medical devices and health data. The programme, IN-CYPHER, will leverage Imperial’s expertise in this area to establish Singapore as a global leader in health cybersecurity and AI for healthcare as it bolsters research and funding in these emerging areas.
“Imperial Global: Singapore will connect with world-leading science and technology in Singapore and Southeast Asia and open a gateway for stronger collaboration with the UK.”Hugh BradyPresident of Imperial College London
