Academics from Imperial and NTU Singapore are developing better ways to protect implantable active devices, such as pacemakers. Imperial has opened its first overseas research and innovation centre in Singapore to strengthen collaboration between the UK and Singapore. Imperial Global: Singapore will see Imperial's scientists working closely with university, industry, government, and third-sector partners in Singapore. The first research programme taking place at the new centre is a major S$20million grant in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to improve the security of medical devices and health data. The programme, IN-CYPHER , will leverage Imperial's expertise in this area to establish Singapore as a global leader in health cybersecurity and AI for healthcare as it bolsters research and funding in these emerging areas. "Imperial Global: Singapore will connect with world-leading science and technology in Singapore and Southeast Asia and open a gateway for stronger collaboration with the UK." Hugh Brady President of Imperial College London The centre, which builds on the longstanding Imperial-NTU Singapore strategic partnership , will enable scientists to rapidly scale new scientific breakthroughs and technology to societal benefit and commercialisation in Southeast Asia. Imperial staff and PhD students will be working in cutting-edge laboratories at the centre alongside partners from Singapore's top universities and institutes.
