Are you passionate about making ageing research meaningful — research that reaches communities, informs policy, and genuinely improves lives? If so, we’d love to hear from you. The Centre for Ageing Research and Education (CARE) is an academic research centre based in Duke-NUS Medical School. We bring together interdisciplinary expertise spanning public health, demography, anthropology, sociology, epidemiology and psychology, to conduct community-engaged research on the determinants of healthy ageing.
