MAKE YOUR MARK IN SINGAPORE – THE RESEARCH HUB OF ASIA “With lots of new scientists arriving here, there would be new ideas and mentors.” Dr. David Coomber A conversation with his old supervisor Professor Sir David Lane sparked off Dr. David Coomber’s interest in Singapore. Professor Lane, one of the world’s most respected scientists in cancer research, was setting up a laboratory at the Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology (IMCB) in Singapore and he asked David to join him in his research effort. “It was a great opportunity. The research environment here is well-funded and wellresourced,” said Dr. Coomber, 40, a molecular biologist who was working in Cambridge in the United Kingdom. “And I would be closer to Australia where my family is.“ In 2005, he joined ICMB and became part of �� in Singapore. The government had launched bold initiatives – cutting edge research facilities, generous grants and research funds – and was wooing the world’s top scientists to live and work here. “With lots of new scientists arriving here, there would be new ideas and mentors,” he said.

So far, he has found Singapore an easy place to live but still muses at the national preoccupation with property prices, food and shopping. That, and getting used to the heat was about the most challenging part of the transition. �� Singapore is a modern city. In fact, I had moved from Cambridge in the UK, which was much smaller, so it felt good to be back in a city.” The best perk for him is that Singapore is a few hours away from all the major cities in Asia and has a well connected airport. Since moving here, he has visited Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. Having settled comfortably in Singapore, Dr. Coomber has bought a place of his own in Tiong Bahru, a heritage district of 50s-era low-rise apartment blocks. “Tiong Bahru is interesting because it still has that ‘village-like’ feel, and it is well known around the island for having good local food,” he chuckled. “My family have visited, and they love where I live.”
