Biomedical research is vital for improving disease prevention and treatment. At Duke-NUS, we offer some of the top Ph.D. programs in Asia with various research focuses. Our vision is for our Ph.D. graduates to become experts in the biomedical and clinical sciences, driven by the desire and curiosity to seek answers to biological questions, potentially leading to new and better treatments.

At Duke-NUS, we are driven by our core values. Our passion is delivering a medical education program based on two goals: providing active learning opportunities and supporting personalized deeper dives in areas of interest. We achieve these through our world-renowned TeamLEAD educational strategy, which promotes collaboration and teamwork, and through our students’ participation in a mentored research experience where they use their innovation and creativity to answer significant, cutting-edge research questions. We believe that this teamwork-oriented approach, in this multi-ethnic environment, allows our students to gain a richer appreciation and respect for diversity and promotes the development of their professionalism.
