Funding Innovative Cancer Research
Philanthropic support is vital and fuels our focus on new discoveries for the future of cancer care. Our team of over 240 researchers are working on 66 wide-ranging research priorities, which include better screening methods, improving treatments, nursing research and cancer prevention.
Our research is special because it concentrates on Asian-specific cancers such as liver and lung cancer, those that are affecting us here in Singapore. This is important research that is not being done elsewhere in the World, it will help save the lives of our friends, families and colleagues.

SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute of Biodiversity Medicine
Biodiversity underpins all life and is intertwined in our daily lives in more ways than that are apparent. In Western modern medicine, for example, 25% of all drugs are derived from rainforest plants, and 70% of cancer drugs are natural or synthetic products inspired by nature. The application of the knowledge of plants to treat disease and promote health has existed for thousands of years and the potential in tapping into this vast wealth of information to advance health and wellness through biodiversity medicine is tremendous. Your gift will go towards helping the institute leverage local biodiversity to advance research into nutrition, medicine and human health.
