Prof Ng Tze Pin is a trained physician epidemiologist and public health medicine specialist. He is currently an Associate Professorial Fellow and Research Director at the Department of Psychological Medicine, where he co-ordinates the Gerontology Research Programme, a multidisciplinary programme of research on ageing and health. He is a visiting scientist at Peking University Institute of Mental Health and National Ageing Research Institute of Melbourne University. He is a visiting consultant at Alexandra Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and St Luke\u2019s Hospital, and an Adjunct Principal Investigator at the Geriatric Education and Research Institute.<\/p>\n

Under the Gerontology Research Programme, he is the Principal Investigator of the Singapore Longitudinal Ageing Studies (SLAS), a population-based cohort follow-up study of 6,000 older Singaporeans, which focus on the themes of dementia, depression, frailty and successful ageing.<\/p>\n

His current research interests include the role of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in dementia, multisystem biological and multi-domain biopsychosocial characterisation of frailty and successful ageing, and population-based and clinical interventions.<\/p>\n

Prof Ng has published over 300 research papers in peer-reviewed journals and presented 150 papers in scientific conferences and meetings on dementia, depression, physical disability, frailty and successful ageing. He is a member of the expert panel of American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Global Council on Brain Health, and the Editorial Boards of a number of scientific journals including Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, Journal of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, Postgraduate Medicine, Current Translational Geriatrics & Experimental Gerontology Reports.<\/p>\n

Over the years, he has provided consultancy services and was on the advisory panels and scientific working groups of a number of government and non-governmental organizations, and has conducted numerous training courses, public lectures and talks on gerontological topics at local and international meetings.<\/p>\n
