Research & Innovation

The National Neuroscience Research Institute Singapore (NNRIS) is a joint venture by the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and Duke-NUS Medical School. The institute consolidates expertise from the two organisations’ neuroscience research programmes, integrate resources for common use, as well as develop a new research facility for neurobehavioural experiments.
