New student placement opportunity at the Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI)

Students will undertake a placement as part of the new MSc Research pathways in Advanced Therapeutics (with Practice) programme.

The Singapore Eye Research Institute is Singapore’s national and premier research institute for ophthalmic and vision research. It is the research arm of Singapore National Eye Centre and is affiliated to the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Duke-NUS Medical School. Established in 1997, SERI’s mission is to conduct high impact eye research with the aim to prevent blindness, low vision and major eye diseases common to Singaporeans and Asians. 

Over the last decade, SERI has conducted landmark research projects that have led to tangible outcomes, patient benefits, and success stories. Many of SERI's landmark research findings have been translated to bedside clinics and commercialized, and incorporated into preventive strategies and national health screening programmes. It has paved the way for significant improvements in how eye diseases are treated and prevented, not just for Singaporeans or Asians, but on a global scale.

With a staff of over 245 members, encompassing clinician scientists, research fellows, PhD students and support staff, SERI is one of the largest research institutes in Singapore and the largest eye research institute in Asia-Pacific.
