To enhance global pandemic preparedness and strengthen responses to infectious disease emergencies, the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) has officially launched the Centre for Infectious Disease Emergency Response (CIDER) on 10 February 2025.

CIDER will serve as an education and operational hub for public health professionals and policymakers across Singapore. Internationally, the centre will undertake a wide range of training, teaching, and operational initiatives to strengthen capacity for pandemic resilience and infectious disease response.

Professor Dale Fisher, an expert in infectious diseases and global health, is leading CIDER as its Director. As part of its mission, CIDER will focus on expanding the regional capacity to prevent, prepare for, detect, and respond to infectious disease emergencies — with a long-term vision to foster global health equity.

Prof Fisher shared, "We are proud to launch CIDER — a centre which will not only advance research and education but will have a direct and tangible impact on national health systems. Through establishing the centre, we aim to empower the next generation of public health leaders to effectively respond to infectious disease emergencies and, ultimately, contribute to a healthier, more resilient world."
