Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL) is a life sciences research organization located within the campus of the National University of Singapore. TLL is affiliated with the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. TLL was established in August 2002. The philosophy at TLL is to carry out research work of broad and exceptional significance.
TLL is governed by a management board, which is chaired by Mr. Tan Guong Ching. Advice on scientific matters is provided by an eminent board, which is chaired by Nobel Prize Winner Sir Paul Nurse.
Professor William Chia is currently the Executive Director of TLL. Professor Stephen Cohen (EMBL) will join TLL as Executive Director in July 2007.
Research work in TLL is carried out by small and interactive teams of scientists. TLL scientists carry out research in cell biology, developmental biology, and molecular pathogenesis. TLL follows a unique research and development model that allows for the creation of knowledge as well as its translation into biomedical, agricultural, and microbiological innovations. TLL scientists carry out research using several "model" organisms such as yeast, fungi, Arabidopsis, rice, Drosophila, and Zebrafish. TLL scientists also participate in research of national relevance, leading to tools for the diagnosis of SARS corona virus and the bird flu virus, H5N1.
There are 26 research groups within TLL, each of which is headed by a Principal Investigator. Currently, approximately 50 students working towards a PhD degree are carrying out their thesis research in various laboratories within TLL. In addition, several post-doctoral researchers also work in TLL.
