OUR RESEARCH
Life-Course Mental Health & Prevention Science
At the Yeo Boon Khim Mind Science Centre, research is not an endpoint — it is the beginning.
OUR APPROACH
Non-pharmacological. Translational studies.
We conduct rigorous, translational studies across the life course, with findings designed
to move from academic publication into community programmes,
clinical practice and national policy.
Our approach is non-pharmacological and prevention-focused, combining biological,
psychological, and social lenses
to understand and strengthen mental resilience across all ages.
RESEARCH PILLARS
Five Areas of Focus
Investigating the biological, psychological, and social factors that shape mental resilience in ageing populations — and translating findings into scalable, community-led interventions.
Estimating the prevalence of mental health conditions in young people and identifying evidence-based pathways for early intervention.
Investigating psychological well-being in professional environments and developing evidence-based programmes that sustain focus, resilience, and productivity in the workforce.
Pioneering the use of AI, data science, and digital technologies for earlier detection, more precise intervention, and scalable mental health solutions — from clinic to community.
Examining the mental health of caregivers and the dynamics of family systems — developing interventions that support the people who support others.
