1 MEDIA RELEASE STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 111 NOVEMBER 2016, STANDARD TIME 5.30PM SINGAPORE 11 November 2016 SINGAPORE CONFERS DR. TADATAKA YAMADA HONORARY CITIZEN AWARD WITH PRESTIGIOUS Singapore Singapore today honours Dr. Tadataka Yamada, Venture Partner at Frazier Healthcare Partners, with the 2016 Honorary Citizen Award for his invaluable contributions to the country. The award is the highest form of recognition bestowed by the Singapore Government for outstanding contributions by individuals to the country s growth and development. It is conferred to those who have made a significant impact in the areas of business, science and technology, information communications, education, health, arts and culture, sports, tourism, community services or security. For more than a decade, Dr. Yamada played a critical role in advancing Singapore s biomedical sciences sector and catalysing scientific innovations in drug discovery and therapeutic advances. In his former role as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) s Chairman of Research and Development (R&D), he spurred entrepreneurial drive within the pharmaceutical industry through key initiatives such as pioneering GSK s Centre of Excellence for Drug Discovery (CEDD) structure, and supporting GSK in its investment in an R& &D pilot plant for small- of molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturing in Singapore, one four current pilot plants in GSK s global network, and the primary site for GSK s new product introductions. In his various roles under Singapore s Biomedical Sciences Initiative which included being a member of the Biomedical Sciences International Advisory Council, and a member of the A*STAR Board, he contributed significantly to shaping Singapore s R&D strategies to help keep us at the forefront of innovation and remain globally competitive. His guidance and insights have helped to deepen partnerships between A*STAR Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) s Page 1 of 9
2 research institutes and the universities, clinical community and industry; and advance Singapore s R&D capabilities in the biomedical sciences sector. As the Chairman of the Project Review Committee of the Experimental Therapeutics Centre (ETC) under A*STAR, Dr. Yamada lent his experience in both academia and industry to guide the translational and clinical research efforts from early stage drug discovery to commercialisation. A notable outcome was the development of ETC-159, a novel small molecule drug candidate that targets a range of cancers, and the first publicly funded drug candidate discovered and developed in Singapore to reach first-in-man trials. On being named Honorary Citizen, Dr. Yamada said, I am very honoured to receive this prestigious national award. Singapore has achieved significant success over the years to become a world-class R&D hub. I am pleased to have played a part in this journey and contributed to Singapore s vibrant biomedical sciences research and enterprise ecosystem. This is the eleventh year the Honorary Citizen Award is being conferred. Dr. Yamada will receive the award from President Tony Tan Keng Yam at the Honorary Citizen Award Investiture at Istana today.
