Dr Meng Lingyan is a Research Fellow at the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, where she obtained her PhD. Prior to her academic career, she worked as a registered nurse at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where she received specialist training in dialysis care. She later pursued a Master of Public Health, majoring in Epidemiology, at the University of Edinburgh.
Drawing on her clinical experience in caring for patients undergoing haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, Dr Meng’s research focuses on dialysis access care and dialysis modality decision-making. She also has an interest in chronic diabetic foot ulcers complicated by peripheral artery disease, including the clinical application of novel medical devices for diagnosis. In addition, she serves as a reviewer for BMC nephrology.
