SPSingapore - Meet The Team


The Team Members



We are a group of undergraduates from the Special Programme in Science (SPS), National University of Singapore. SPS was established in 1996 to groom budding scientists towards research and the interdisciplinary sciences.

The team members are engaged in a variety of research activities across a diverse span of fields ranging from bioinformatics to pharmacology and even neuroscience.
