The A*STAR Skin Research Labs (A*SRL) Fellowship Programme aims to identify, mentor and nurture aspiring researchers in the field of skin research. The programme provides exceptionally talented and promising scientists, with background in skin research or related areas, the opportunity to set up and independently run their own research laboratory.
A*SRL aims to create a translation-focused, clinically oriented, technology-proving, interdisciplinary skin R&
D environment that increases its capacity to interact with industry partners and the clinical community, thus translating into better healthcare outcomes for patients with skin disorders.
Our strategic research areas include:
