Spurred by their desire to improve medical delivery and patient care, newly-minted PhD alums Nicodemus and Eugenia have spent the best part of the past four to five years working on their research as part of their PhD programmes. To celebrate and welcome the inaugural batch of PhD graduates, Eugenia and Nico share their stories below.

The inaugural Duke-NUS PhD Alumni Committee (DNPA) was recently set up. Dr Nicodemus Oey, as President of the newly formed committee, shares his plans on building and strengthening ties between the PhD alumni and the school.

As doctors, we are constantly being challenged - at work, in our personal lives, even in medical school. In spite of this, we were blessed to have met each other during our undergraduate days at Nanyang Technological University, supported each other while studying at Duke-NUS and now, we look forward with great excitement to being residents... and as parents to our new baby.
