What our students say…
Winter Research at Yale University
“This was the perfect opportunity to work with top-tier researchers in the field of biostatistics. I got to work on an underexplored area in Singapore - methodology research in biostatistics.”
Summer Research Programme at the Bio-X Research Centre at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU)
“I got to explore the connection between nutrition and food science, as well as expand my knowledge through immersions in the food and beverage industry."
