The Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) was conceptualized in 2005 and established in 2006 by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) with the aim of expanding and strengthening immunology research in Singapore. By January 2008, a new 6,000 m2 laboratory and office space was officially inaugurated as the home of SIgN, in the Immunos building at Biopolis, under the executive leadership of Professor Philippe Kourilsky and scientific directorship of Professor Paola Castagnoli. SIgN is presently led by Professor Lam Kong Peng, Executive Director.
Mission and Objective:
SIgN’s mission is to advance human immunology research, contribute scientific knowledge and make innovative discoveries to improve lives and further socio-economic growth. SIgN is committed to translate research findings into clinical and commercial applications, in partnership with clinics and industry.
