IBN in Singapore

Very interesting Institution. I was particularly interested in their recent publication of "Scaffolds for growing cells and tissue" Click to read more)

The Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) was established to spearhead the advancement of biomedical sciences in Singapore. Positioned at the interface of two frontiers of engineering, IBN is focused on creating knowledge and cultivating talent to develop technology platforms that will spur the growth of new industries. A member of the A*STAR's biomedical sciences institutes, IBN is a leading national program with an international vision and a dynamic interdisciplinary research environment.
