The BioSystem and Micromechanics (BioSyM) Interdisciplinary Research Group was established under the auspices of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) in October 2008 with support from the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF).
The SMART BioSyM IRG has three major areas of focus. First and foremost is the development of new technologies to address critical medical and biological questions applicable to a variety of diseases. Second, is the further development of these technologies to provide novel solutions for the healthcare industry. Third, is to provide a constant source of new technologies to the broader Singapore research infrastructure.
BioSyM brings together a multidisciplinary team of faculties and researchers from MIT and Singapore's Universities (NUS and NTU) and Research Institutes.
Vision
To become the focal point for translating cutting edge science into novel technologies for human healthcare.
Mission
To develop enabling biotechnologies that will create the next generation of scientific discoveries and will lead to advances in our understanding of biological phenomena and the development of new diagnostic/therapeutic assays and translation into clinical practice. |
