Duke-NUS Medical School advances research on pulmonary health and fetal development

Duke-NUS Medical School has highlighted a series of active research projects centered on clinical outcomes in respiratory health and developmental medicine. Key initiatives include the investigation of lung scarring, clinically known as pulmonary fibrosis, and the impacts of congenital infections on fetal development.

Beyond respiratory health, the institution is active in the field of neuroscience. Led by experts such as Joshua Gooley, researchers are examining how sleep patterns influence neurological health. Concurrently, the school continues to track infectious disease threats, including Zika, specifically concerning the health of pregnant women.

Several faculty members and researchers associated with the school were recently recognized with National Day Awards for their contributions to medicine. These projects form the core of the institution's ongoing commitment to advancing diagnostic and treatment protocols in Singapore and internationally.
