SMART CAMP has launched and is actively building our research team!
Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART)
CAMP is part of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART), which includes four other interdisciplinary research groups and the SMART Innovation Centre in Singapore.
This decade-long partnership between Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) and MIT builds R&D teams aligned with MIT's aspiration to build a better world through research, teaching, and industrial engagement. SMART is also aligned directly with Singapore's strategic investment in a knowledge economy and workforce building in topics including human systems and manufacturing.
Cell Therapy Manufacturing Effort in Singapore
CAMP partners with Singapore's industry-aligned research teams, Allogeneic Stem Cell Manufacturing (ASTEM) and Integrated Manufacturing Programme for Autologous Cell Therapy (IMPACT) at at A*STAR and NUHS, as part of a $80M SGD investment in cell therapy manufacturing R&D announced in 2019.
US Landscape in Advanced Therapeutics Manufacturing
Cell therapy manufacturing is a worldwide challenge and opportunity.
As SMART CAMP is co-led by MIT faculty and researchers, CAMP provides a strong connection to research & innovation within the US market, including the Kendall Square innovation ecosystem of biopharma companies, investors, and research talent pipelines in MIT's backyard.
MIT also participates in separate research efforts in Manufacturing USA, including NIIMBL and ARMI Biofab.
