Assistant Professor, Centre for Vision Research

Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS), Singapore’s only graduate-entry medical school was established as a landmark collaboration between two world-ranking institutions of higher education – Duke University and National University of Singapore. Duke-NUS provides innovative education and impactful research to enhance the practice of medicine in Singapore and beyond. Through its strategic partnership with Singapore Health Services (SingHealth), the School is able to leverage its joint capabilities and infrastructure to develop outstanding clinical education programmes and cutting edge research collaborations that translate fundamental science into better health.

The Centre for Vision Research brings together the synergies of strength and capabilities as well as expertise in ophthalmology and vision sciences research within the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre. It paves the way for the creation of an all-encompassing amalgamated clinical, experimental and fundamental vision sciences platform that is able to holistically address all areas of vision disorders. This is aligned with the current goals of Singapore’s biomedical sciences initiative, in which the application of early and late- stage translational research with direct clinical and population impact is a top priority.
