The Research Office of Pathology ACP provides administrative support to allow our researchers to focus on research activities with the ultimate aim of improving patient care. Some of the research activities in Pathology ACP are as follows:
Pathology ACP Pitch-for-Funds Grant
The Pathology ACP Pitch-for-Funds Grant aims to promote laboratory-based research within Pathology ACP especially among junior doctors (residents/ trainees) and junior scientific/ technical staff.
The grant award will allow them to acquire experience in applying for grants, study design, project work, writing papers and presenting their data at an early stage of their career. It may also be used to jump start laboratory studies providing pilot data leading on to external and national grant funding.
We congratulate the following successful awardees and wish them every success in their research endeavours! We would also like to thank their mentors for their invaluable support and guidance!
