SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre leads S$10m national effort to tackle muscle-loss in ageing Singapore

Singapore’s first nationwide research initiative dedicated to sarcopenia aims to revolutionise diagnosis and treatment for Asian patients.
With a unique collection of samples from patients, combined with state-of-the-art investigative platforms, this initiative will bring new insights to the onset and progression of the disease.
Research outcomes may provide insights to improve quality of life for patients and establish Singapore as a leader in medical innovation and patient care for this largely under recognised and understudied condition.
