Neuroscience & Mental Health

Understanding the brain is the greatest challenge in biomedical science and LKCMedicine has recruited an outstanding group of faculty to tackle this challenge. The research interests of our faculty range from the molecular biology of the brain up to human cognition and brain disorders. Our unifying research themes are neurodegenerative disorders, brain cell biology and neural circuits. Neuroscience and Mental Health faculty work in close collaboration at both the Clinical Sciences Building in Novena and within the Experimental Medicine Building at the NTU Main Campus. Our Co-Directors and many of our adjunct faculty are clinician-scientists, providing us with strong links to the premier clinical neuroscience institutions in Singapore.
