Research Highlights

The National Research Foundation’s Competitive Research Programme (CRP) aims to bring together multidisciplinary teams to carry out advanced research that addresses challenges relevant to Singapore and society. It supports use-inspired basic research projects selected through a rigorous merit review process focused on scientific excellence. Proposed projects must be driven by a significant need or problem to solve. By offering substantial funding, CRP empowers researchers to push boundaries and enhance Singapore’s standing as a global research leader.

We are thrilled to share that Prof WU Wei (PI) and Dr TAN Kar Tong (Co-PI), have been awarded in the 32nd Competitive Research Programme (CRP) for their proposal titled ‘Exploiting Tumor-specific RNA-editing for Antigen-based Cancer Therapy (ExTRACT)’ with a total project value of S$6.4 million.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement, Wei and Kar Tong!
