Temasek Holdings, the National University of Singapore ("NUS") and the Nanyang Technological University ("NTU") jointly announce the setting up of Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory ("TLL"). TLL will be a research unit that will focus on molecular and genetic research in the broad fields of life sciences.

2. This research unit will also leverage on the academic co-sponsorship of the two universities to develop the knowledge infrastructure and R&D human capital in Singapore for life sciences. To this end, both universities have agreements with TLL for the joint-appointment of their respective research scientists and other collaboration for research and teaching. Besides the universities, TLL is expected to have research collaboration with the Agri-food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore ("AVA") as well as actively work with other research institutes, hospitals and overseas companies for joint R&D projects with commercial potential.
3. TLL will be launching a global recruitment drive for world-class research scientists to build its R&D capabilities in both basic and applied research through plant and animal models.
