Welcome to the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore!

We are one of the Research Centers of Excellence established by the Government of Singapore. Our purpose-built research institute is hosted by the National University of Singapore, a globally leading, research-intensive University. Located steps away from the National University Hospital, we work in close partnership with the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS), a major healthcare provider prominent in the care of cancer patients. Through our local and global partnerships, the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore works with leading minds from multiple scientific and clinical disciplines, and benefits from access to cutting-edge facilities.

Together, we are building translational pipelines, training future leaders, and forging global partnerships to advance cancer science and improve patient outcomes. Please explore our site to learn more and join us in advancing the “beginning of the end” for cancer.

We stand at the cusp of a transformational period in fundamental, translational and clinical research on cancer – what I call the end of the beginning for cancer research. The past two decades have witnessed a revolution in our understanding of the fundamental biology of cancer cells. This revolution has been brought about by the tireless efforts of a global community of researchers. The 200 faculty, research staff and students who work at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore are proud to be active members of this vibrant global community, and to have made significant contributions in reaching “the end of the beginning”.
