The Mechanobiology Institute Women in Science (MBI-WIS) at the National University of Singapore is an organization of graduate students, staff, post-doctoral fellows and faculty dedicated to achieving equity and full participation of women in all areas of science.
The goal of MBI WIS is to advance women in science and to discuss and make the research community aware of past, present and future challenges. We seek to increase the participation of women in science at all levels, and to enable the advancement and success of women scientists.
Our mission is to encourage the women of MBI, NUS, Singapore, and beyond to become involved in mentorship, networking and outreach, as well as participating in seminars and discussions on this topic. MBI WIS organizes events, such at the BIOS series of symposiums, and sponsors in-house Career talks for the benefit of our students and staff.

The Biophotonic Breakfast meets the first Thursday of the month at 10am at the T-Lab, level 5, and with a simultaneously streamed session via ZOOM. Initiated by SiMBA, the Biophotonic Breakfas provides a breakfast ājournal and method clubā dedicated to the biophotonic field. Talks focus on cutting-edge methods and new techniques in the field of microscopy, image analysis, correlative microscopy with EM, and imaging techniques in a broad sense (ie :spatial transcriptomics), with a touch of biology. The main idea is āto share and initiate brand new tech ā with some croissants (yes we can !), and so no pressure. The talks are open to everyone at MBI and members of LSI/Singascope and are an excellent opportunity for students and postdocs to demonstrate their interest in specific techniques and new ideas in a collaborative environment. Eligible candidates who wish to present are encouraged to contact SiMBA at simba-mbi.com.
The Singapore Women in Science (SgWIS) network brings together women from academia, patent law, business, and related industries to foster collaboration, mentorship, and networking. They host monthly talks by women leaders in science, followed by informal networking sessions.
