The goal of the NUHS Research Office, in the area of Clinical Research, is to create and monitor the appropriate milieu to pursue excellence in clinical research. By doing so, the NUHS Research Office will promote a dynamic research culture and passion towards research amongst NUHS clinicians.
One of the major objectives in clinical research today is to understand the Asian phenotype and to accelerate biomarker and drug developments. This will allow us to develop personalized medicine and complement similar efforts in the West so as to greatly benefit Asia and maximize the potential of an academic hospital as well as develop synergies with A*STAR, other universities and research institutions in Singapore, and industry.
In an effort to help us achieve our goals, The Investigational Medicine Unit (IMU) remains as our flagship centre within NUHS, established as a key centre to integrate ongoing research programmes to promote experimental therapeutics and investigational medicine discoveries into interventions that can advance patient care.
Specially configured for the conduct of Good Clinical Practice compliant studies, the IMU has established
outstanding capabilities to design, carry out and learn deeply from proof-of-concept and early phase studies in man, which seek to validate new diagnostics and treatments.
