Internationally competitive biomedical research

About Us

Find out more

The Biosciences Research Centre (BRC) is a research platform for SBS researchers but also open to NTU and other Singapore institutions. The aim is to facilitate research to address important biomedical and biological questions important for Singapore and the world in the XXI century.

By providing a research environment with state-of-the-art facilities, the BRC hopes to create the ideal environment for internationally competitive research in all areas of life sciences, bringing together researchers from NTU and beyond. It is a model of how Institutes of higher learning will operate in the future and also one that would drive top level research in the various themes undertaken by the BRC, such as potential commercial value. This model aims to rapidly develop new drug targets to phases where it can attract our commercial partners, through close interactions between BRC and DDC. 

Biomedical research in the 21st century is a highly advanced field requiring sophisticated and expensive equipment. The BRC aims to provide the infrastructure that is needed to pursue internationally competitive biomedical research via resource-sharing concept.

BRC is committed to

  • Support research and learning activities
  • Provide shared resources and facilities
  • Collaborate with students and researchers
  • Interact within organization as well as among research institutes and organizations
  • Committed towards our mission to provide a conducive environment for learning and research aligned to NTU’s aspiration.

At BRC, we provide the following facilities.

Equipment

Biomolecular Interactions

The Biomolecular Interactions (BMI) Platform in BioSciences Research Centre (BRC), School of Biological Sciences, at NTU Singapore offers access to a spectrum of biophysical techniques to help users characterize molecules of research and interest. The techniques at BMI platform are suitable for protein to protein or DNA / ligand / small molecules / hormones / fragments interactions; molecular mass and size measurements, secondary/tertiary structure determination, aggregation, and conformation measurements, and more.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facility in School of Biological Sciences (SBS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is equipped with three solution state NMR spectrometers ranging from 400 MHz to 700 MHz. It is established in 2005 and physically located in the NMR Room (SBS-B1n-03) situated in the SBS building. The NMR facility serves NTU research community and external research institutes with collaborations. Requests from other organizations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Mass Spectrometry

The proteomics core facility offers mass spectrometry services to the NTU community and beyond. We provide a wide range of services including determination of molecular weight for biomolecules and protein identification from various sources. We hope to expand further in the near future.

Microscopy

The SBS Microscopy facility provides a variety of microscopes and services to support the imaging needs of researchers. The facility offers assisted use and training on our equipment and consultations on microscopy related research.

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry has the ability to discriminate, quantify and sort distinct population of cells based on expression of markers with rapid ease thus opening up new research opportunities or aid in current research work.

Protein Production Platform

Do you want to get your hands on a recombinant version of your favorite protein? Established in 2009, the Protein Production Platform (PPP) has to date produced more than 4,000 recombinant protein batches for both academic and industrial partners. Our strategy is simple, robust and allows us to work in parallel with many different proteins and protein constructs.
