Vanessa is a PhD Candidate at Duke-NUS Medical School, specialising in Health Services and Systems Research, and is affiliated with the Centre for Ageing Research and Education. Her research focuses on population health, health prevention and policy analysis. She employs a mixed methods approach, which include both quantitative and qualitative methods for her studies.
