Temasek Lifesciences Laboratory

Temasek Lifesciences Laboratory (TLL) was set up in February 2002 to undertake cutting edge research in the broad fields of lifesciences such as molecular biology and genetics including animal health biotechnology. Affiliated to the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, TLL has various programmes in both fundamental research and strategic research that are industrydriven. In addressing the need and importance for prompt scientific research in new emerging diseases, such as SARS and Avian Flu, TLL has built within its compound state-of-the-art Biosafety Level 3 and Animal Biosafety Level 3 laboratories. TLL has also committed itself to make available these laboratories for the training of the scientific community in biosafety and as a national resource when and where needed.
