For decades, how an extra copy of chromosome 21 shapes brain development in #Downsyndrome remained a “black box.” Researchers from #DukeNUS & @imperialcollege have now identified 3 key #genes acting as master regulators of brain-related #genetic activity: duke-nus.edu.sg/newshub/media-…

Gong Xi Fa Cai! From all of us at Duke-NUS, we wish you a prosperous and joyful Year of the Horse! 🏇 🍊 May this year bring you an abundance of happiness, health and success! #DukeNUS #ChineseNewYear #LunarNewYear

Did you know that AI tools are able to guide patient care and improve healthcare access? According to #DukeNUS researchers and their collaborators, safe and responsible implementation of these technologies could advance global health. Read more here: buff.ly/rL9NIMa

Proud to see @NUSingapore ranked 13th globally for Medical & Health in the @THEWorldUniRank 2026, reflecting the collective strength of NUS’ medical and health ecosystem, across #DukeNUS, the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, @NUSMedicine, and our partners.

When final-year #DukeNUS student Charles Yau saw a child put on contact lenses calmly for the first time, he knew his #innovation was making a real difference. At #DukeNUS, innovation is built into #medicaleducation. Read more: buff.ly/sf3uD2d

How are #ageing and #smoking linked to higher stomach #cancer risk? Researchers at #DukeNUS and @NUHSofficial uncovered early biological changes that precede gastric cancer—opening new paths for risk stratification and prevention. Read more: buff.ly/1Z1xaDY

#NEWS: We’re testing a first-of-its-kind anti-IL-11 antibody in a Phase II trial. Our goal: Fight lung scarring and restore lung function in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which affects 3M+ people globally. Learn more go.boehringer.com/1JaaO #PulmonaryFibrosis #ClinicalResearch

New insight for eyesight: An international #research team led by #NTUsg has captured, for the first time, a “twitch” in the eye’s night-vision cells at the exact moment they detect light. This discovery uncovers a previously unseen physical process underlying how low-light vision begins in the #retina and could pave the way for new, non-invasive tools for the earlier #diagnosis of blinding #EyeDiseases. ntu.sg/Eye-Twitch #NTUsgResearch #NTUsgInnovation #NTUsgPartnerships #NTUsgInternational #Medicine #Healthcare #Health #EyeHealth #VisionLoss #Blindness @CCEB_NTU @ScienceNTU @UW @snec_seri @dukenus

A partnership among the @UF Center for Natural Products, Drug Discovery & Development, Singapore’s @dukenus Medical School and @brin_indonesia aims to translate the rich biodiversity of the waters surrounding Indonesia into medicines & therapeutic products.bit.ly/4qB6EfG

Scientists at #DukeNUS have developed two new computational tools—sCCIgen and QuadST—to uncover where cells are located and how they communicate through genes and chemical signals: duke-nus.edu.sg/newshub/media-… #DukeNUS #ScienceInnovation #MedicalResearch
