Bio
At Duke-NUS Medical School, expanding on her research and education expertise, she now holds three major leadership portfolios. In her role as Senior Associate Dean of Graduate Studies she leads the administrative, academic, and educational affairs of three PhD programs with the goal to enable each graduate student to achieve academic excellence in their PhD degree and realise their career goals. Since taking on the role of Deputy Director at the founding of the Centre of Regulatory Excellence (CoRE) in 2014, Prof Vogel drives the implementation of the strategic goals of the Centre and continuously advances CoRE as a dedicated training platform for regulatory sciences. Under her leadership, the Graduate Certificate Program in Health Products Regulation established itself as CoRE’s flagship program and is the first dedicated academic regulatory training program in Asia. Stemming from her work with the Graduate Programmes and CoRE, Prof Vogel is passionate about providing opportunities for working professionals who strive to upskill and advance their careers. Building on this, she is now heading the newly established Centre for Lifelong Learning (CLL) at Duke-NUS with the overarching goal to establish a comprehensive learning hub for healthcare professionals. Under the CLL umbrella, several NUS accredited programs as well as short courses are being offered with a planned expansion over the next year. Prof Vogel's leadership of CLL includes working together with faculty and clinician-educators on the identification of gaps in capacities or capabilities that could be addressed through the CLL, and advising on the pedagogy, course structures and implementation through NUS on the accreditation processes for Executive, Graduate Certificates as well Master’s programs.
A scientist by training, prior to joining Duke-NUS Medical School, Professor Silke Vogel worked at Columbia University in the Department of Preventive Medicine as an Assistant Professor (tenure track), directing a research laboratory with a focus on understanding factors involved in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. During this time, she participated in teaching Master of Science students and health care professionals in the Institute of Human Nutrition.
