In this role, he will work with the Vice Chancellor of Duke-NUS Affairs to maintain existing Duke / Duke-NUS research links and develop new ones in key strategic areas. He will oversee the Duke-NUS clinical research fellowship exchange program, the Duke/Duke-NUS pilot grants, travel grants, and the Duke/Duke-NUS/SingHealth mentoring program.
