Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS) is Singapore’s only graduate-entry medical school. The Centre of Regulatory Excellence (CoRE) was established at Duke-NUS in 2014 with the mission of establishing regional platforms and networks to grow competencies, build capacity and promote thought leadership in regulatory science and health policy. CoRE promotes regulatory thought leadership and policy innovation as well as regulatory systems strengthening.

The Healthcare Services arena is continuously and rapidly evolving with new models and technologies to enhance patient care. New technological developments such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Medical Things wearables and Digital therapeutics offer substantial promise to both patients and providers. At the same time, Precision Medicine is fast gaining popularity with medical interventions such as cell and gene therapy being optimized to suit subsets of patients and treat them in a much more effective manner. All these innovations pose regulatory challenges to balance risks and benefits, requiring a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework to ensure appropriate access and safety in Singapore and the region. CoRE is collaborating with Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) to review and research the exciting regulatory innovations needed to safeguard and enhance the welfare of the Singapore public in this fast evolving healthcare landscape.
