Biomedical Research Council (BMRC)
Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)'s Biomedical Research Council supports and oversees biomedical research at five national research institutes, with core competencies in bioinformatics; genomics; molecular biology; bioprocessing technology; bioengineering and nanotechnology. BMRC also encourages extramural research work and multi-disciplinary research collaborations in the wider scientific community. As part of its human capital development efforts, the Council offers research scholarships and fellowships. The Council also initiates and promotes societal awareness of biomedical research through outreach programmes.

The Biopolis Shared Facilities is an important and integral part of the life science hub in One North. The concept behind the shared facilities is to maximise usage of key scientific equipment, services and other facilities to serve the Research Institutes located at Biopolis. Its components can be extended to other academic institutions and the commercial sector depending on availability and requirements.
