Respiratory & Infectious Diseases

Targeting Asia’s Pressing Respiratory and Infectious Disease Burdens

Addressing major health threats, emerging infections and chronic respiratory diseases, such as antimicrobial resistance, asthma and mosquito-borne diseases including Zika.
Combining microbiology, virology, systems biology and genomics to better understand, diagnose and treat the diseases, reducing their impact.
Partnering clinicians and patients through the TARIPH Centre to improve respiratory care in Singapore and Asia.

Prof Pablo Bifani working on the forefront of antimicrobial resistance and bacteriophages research.

Powering Discovery Through Grants, Vaccines, and Global Trials

We lead a $10 million NMRC grant in Asian respiratory diseases and are advancing drug discovery for tuberculosis and mycobacterium abscesses.
We are developing human challenge models for next-generation vaccines, and contributing to global clinical trials to combat life-threatening bacterial infections.
Our study on climate change’s effect on vector-borne diseases, such as dengue and malaria, is uncovering the impact on human health and healthcare.

The TARIPH Centre leads a multi-institution national research study on lung health with patients as key partners.
