About EARO
A Fee-for-Service initiative by Experimental Drug Development Centre
(EDDC) – Singapore’s national platform for drug discovery and
development, hosted by A*STAR
Our Mission
We offer academic and industrial partners in Singapore and abroad access to EDDC’s drug discovery technologies and expertise. Our cutting-edge technologies and in-depth expertise can support your goal of transforming your scientific hypotheses into drug candidates.
History of EARO
Founded in 2020, EARO was conceived to foster an environment conducive for translating great science into great medicines. We do so by connecting aspiring drug hunters to the rich scientific expertise and state-of-the-art technology platforms at EDDC.
An initial market survey revealed a demand for fee-for-service models to access EDDC’s scientific resources. From its beginnings as a complement to the EDDC portfolio development engine, EARO has evolved to include a mature project acceptance and performance framework with several ISO 9001:2015 certified technology platforms under its fold.
EARO strives to improve and expand its range of service offerings to support the community’s endeavors in drug discovery and development.

Engage with Confidence
EARO operates under an independent governing body to preserve its autonomy despite being nested within EDDC. This ensures a clear separation of legal tasks, data confidentiality management, and data ownership.
EARO is committed to complete process transparency under the ISO 9001:2015 Certification, so whether you seek to engage with us for full service, technology access, or a hybrid of both, our business models are designed to do 2 things:
- assure researchers that the data generated is confidential and solely belongs to them
- every process passes rigorous scrutiny to ensure service excellence
