Awarded at the 2nd Singapore-Hungary joint Symposium held in Singapore, the four projects were selected from 23 entries submitted following a grant call at the first joint symposium held in Hungary in March last year.

These projects will be jointly led by Singapore and Hungary researchers and will cover areas such as cancer, stroke rehabilitation, bioimaging for stem cell therapy and drug delivery.

The joint symposium is a platform for the scientific communities of the two countries to come together to explore the scope for research, A*STAR said in a statement on Thursday.

The event is one of the outcomes of the Master Collaboration Agreement inked by A*STAR and NKTH in 2007 to create opportunities for the exchange of ideas and scientific interactions.
