Cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, affects one in three people during their lifetime. The Cancer and Stem Cell Biology (CSCB) programme conducts world-class science in different fields of cancer research, including stem cell research to fight against cancer. We adopt both basic and clinical-translational approaches to understand key signaling pathways of cancer. CSCB is a key player in the innovation, development and advancement of cancer therapeutics.

CSCB has formed close collaborative networks with the existing cancer research community in Singapore, including the National Cancer Center (NCC), Singapore General Hospital, NUS, and the A*STAR Research Institutes.
