GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has had a presence in Singapore since the 1970s with its investment in an antibiotics plant. Since that time the company has developed a special relationship with the country, opening a number of ventures among them their Biologics plant and the Academic Center of Excellence.
GSK has a significant presence in Singapore: Singapore is home to their Regional Headquarters (EMAP), an R&D facility (Biopolis), two global manufacturing and supply sites (Jurong & Quality Road), a Stiefel manufacturing facility, and a state-of-the-art vaccines plant (Tuas).”
In 2010 GlaxoSmithKline launched the Academic Centre of Excellence (ACE) to be a virtual research network that will establish collaborations on projects of mutual interest to GSK and Singapore Investigators. Projects could include target discovery and validation, biomarker identification, or screening and drug development.
