Bayer and National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) will establish a Center of Excellence for Explorative Cardiovascular Studies with the aim of boosting patient-centricity in research and development (R&D) and improving treatment outcomes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) management.
Combining NHCSâ vast experience in managing Asian CVD patients and clinical research and Bayerâs expertise in pharmaceutical R&D, the centre will generate and integrate high-quality patient data into early clinical research which will allow the better understanding of the underlying biology of CVDs. The results could potentially lead to future targeted therapies to address unmet medical needs in defined patient populations. Bayer will contribute S$5.4 million ($4.1) towards the set up of the centre.
