Abstract

Covering 18.5 hectares and encompassing seven buildings, Biopolis is a testament to the Singapore government's commitment to biological research, its proposed 'fourth pillar' of the economy. Officially opening next week, this massive research facility represents one of the largest international scientific recruitment drives ever undertaken in Southeast Asia. Built at a cost of some S$500 million (US$290 million), the complex will eventually play host to more than 1,500 scientists.
