Chinapost.com -- Just a month after it opened a S$500 million (US$358.75 million) manufacturing plant in Singapore, Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche has decided to locate some of its research work for Asia here as well. It is sinking in another S$100 million (US$71.75 million) to do what is known as translational research, which looks at, for example, how the different ways drugs conceived in the laboratory can better benefit patients.
