Who we are
A think tank to prepare and safeguard Asia from biological threats.
Together, we advance
health security for Asia.
We strengthen Asia’s readiness for catastrophic biological threats through scientific evidence, gaining knowledge and expertise, and building strategic partnerships.
Through our research and educational initiatives, we convene and work together with government agencies, academic institutions and other like-minded organisations, all contributing to effective policy-making and biosecurity practices in Asia.
We envision a united and resilient Asia safeguarded against health security threats for the well-being of future generations.
Forefront in health security
We contribute to global conversations as thought leaders, build expertise and capabilities to strengthen regional preparedness for biological threats.
Rooted in Asia
We provide perspectives, insights and practical solutions contextualised to address this region’s unique challenges.
Strong in interdisciplinary synergies
We foster synergies across disciplines and sectors, forging partnerships beyond traditional boundaries to develop impactful research and effective policies.
