Established in 2007, the Clinical Imaging Research Centre (CIRC) is a joint venture between National University of Singapore (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and A*STAR Singapore Bioimaging Consortium (SBIC).
 CIRC aims to undertake world-class research using state of the art imaging tools and technologies, and to become the shared resource for Clinical Imaging Research in A*STAR, NUS and across Singapore.
CIRC will have as focal points ;
- the development, testing and validation of new imaging technologies, methods, biomarkers and imaging agents for human studies
- to carry out translational/clinical imaging research involving humans for the development of novel interventions and imaging for human-scale medical implants, devices and procedures
- to initiate and develop collaboration between basic scientists and clinicians at A*STAR, NUS, other collaborative research institutes, and the pharmaceutical and medical diagnostics industries.
 As a core mission over all its activities, CIRC aims to be a major training centre in Clinical Imaging for Masters and PhD student. CIRC Phase 1 includes a 3Tesla MRI imaging system, with 20 staff capacity and Phase 2 (2011) will see in NUS Translational Medicine Building, additional MRI Imaging capabilities, PET/CT and SPECT/CT Imaging, and a biomarkers/radioisotopes production/development facility, with additional 50 staff capacity.
