FOUR research grants were given out on Thursday by Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and Hungary's National Office for Research and Technology (NKTH).

Awarded at the 2nd Singapore-Hungary joint Symposium held in Singapore, the four projects were selected from 23 entries submitted following a grant call at the first joint symposium held in Hungary in March last year.

These projects will be jointly led by Singapore and Hungary researchers and will cover areas such as cancer, stroke rehabilitation, bioimaging for stem cell therapy and drug delivery.
