Immunology in Singapore--past and future
Abstract:
In the past, immunology in Singapore was mainly confined to serology for the diagnosis of certain infectious diseases. Postgraduate education for immunology was not well developed and its undergraduate training was restricted to a few lectures within bacteriology. With the establishment of the W.H.O. IRTC in 1969, training and research in immunology were further developed and a group of scientists and technicians to conduct research work was subsequently built up. This enabled the Centre to provide some immunological services to the Government and University, and soon extended these to our neighbouring countries as well. Further research and the maintenance of international standards are essential for the future development of immunology in Singapore. And this is only possible with the moral and financial support of the Government, University and private granting bodies.

What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
