A*STAR officially opened the new Experimental Drug Development Centre (EDDC) on Wednesday to take more made-in-Singapore drugs from early-stage drug discovery to clinical trials and commercialisation.
Towards this end, the statutory board also launched the Target Translation Consortium (TTC), which coordinates drug discovery efforts in academia, healthcare institutions and government agencies, and consolidated three existing A*Star grants into the Singapore Therapeutics Development Review (STDR).
