NTU’s new population health laboratories to study how Singaporeans can lead healthier lives
The new research centres and laboratories will advance the prevention and treatment of the most pressing diseases affecting Singaporeans
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has launched a suite of new research centres and laboratories to advance the prevention and treatment of the most pressing diseases affecting Singaporeans.
The Population and Community Health Laboratories at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), will seek to understand why these diseases occur. They will also develop more targeted strategies for early prevention and prompt treatment so that Singaporeans can lead healthier and more productive lives.
The laboratories are in line with the Ministry of Health's recent call to move beyond healthcare to boost preventive health by encouraging and empowering Singaporeans to take good care of their health, arrest the causes of ill health early and reduce the progression of long-term chronic diseases.
