Work together with our project mentor A/ Prof Matthew Chen Zhixuan - Lead of Geriatric Oncology @ NUHS - as you learn how to approach the Institutional Review Board (IRB), manage large amounts of data, and eventually get your research published!

Best part? Do all that while having fun and promoting healthy lifestyles to our residents at Chua Chu Kang!
