Biography
Asst professor Eyleen Goh is a senior research scientist at the National Neuroscience Institute and an assistant professor with the Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore. Her research laboratory aims to understand the fundamentals of brain development and functions, and to search for possible intervention strategies for neurodevelopmental and neurodengenerative disorders. Besides the usual pharmaceutical approach, they are also exploring nutraceutical approach for the treatment of these brain disorders. Using cell cultures, animal models and human patient-derived cells, the lab is investigating the effects of micronutrients on neuronal development, circuitry and cognitive functions, to understand how micronutrients or the transport of these micronutrients affect brain functions and to determine if micronutrients can be used as treatment for neurological disorders.
