CeLS

Centre for Life Sciences (CeLS) also hosts several partner research institutes and research centres. They are NUS research institutes/centres, a few of which having collaborations with other institutes and universities both in Singapore and overseas.

Clinical Imaging Research Centre (CIRC) Singapore

CIRC was established in 2007 as a joint venture between the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the National University of Singapore (NUS). CIRC undertakes and promotes research and development in the field of advanced clinical imaging in human subjects. It works closely with the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium (SBIC) that focuses on preclinical imaging in animals, thereby completing a translational pipeline of imaging research bridging preclinical and clinical outcomes.

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

The NUS Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) was set up to oversee the care and use of animals for scientific purposes in NUS. Members of the IACUC are appointed through the Institutional Official and include veterinarians, scientists, non-scientists and members of the community who are not affiliated to NUS. Since 2010, NUS has been an AAALAC-accredited institution demonstrating our commitment to responsible animal research and good science.
