About SAPhIRE
The Surveillance and Pharmacogenomics Initiative for Adverse Drug Reactions (SAPhIRE) program is funded by the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) of A*STAR, Singapore to improve drug safety by developing an active surveillance network for adverse drug reaction (ADR) monitoring and discovery of genomic biomarkers that are predictive of specific ADRs. This programme brings together expertise from research institutes, universities, hospitals and the Health Science Authority of Singapore to advance pharmacogenomics in our region. For additional information, please visit the SAPhIRE website.
