The Singapore BioImaging Consortium (SBIC) plans to create an integrated platform for multidisciplinary research involving biologists, chemists, physicists, electrical engineers, computer scientists and clinician scientists to work together in a coordinated manner. SBIC will also provide a focal point of interaction with pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to explore joint research collaborations or business ventures.

Four technology platforms have been identified for core research programmes:
i) Optical imaging
ii) Image processing and management
iii) Small animal imaging with Magnetic Resonance
iv) Development of Chemical/ Biological probes

These technology platforms will be used to support research in areas such as cancer, metabolic medicine and regenerative medicine.
