Research Groups
- Pain Research (Basic Science) Group

The Research Laboratory of the Department of Anaesthesia, National University of Singapore, is supervised by Professor Lee Tat Leang and Associate Professor Low Chian Ming, and headed by Associate Professor Ti Lian Kah.
The research emphasis of the laboratory is on translational clinical research which is geared towards patient care.
Major research themes of the laboratory are:
- Isolation of novel neuropeptides involved in chronic pain
- Identification of the mechanisms of neuropeptides for analgesic development
- Chronic pain and sensory research using animal models
- Biomarkers for chronic pain assessments
Several faculty members are active members of the Special Interest Group in Pain Research under NUSMed since 2008. Strong and active collaboration with A/P Sanjay Khanna from the Department of Physiology and clinicians have generated productive research outputs in terms of scientific publications, securing competitive national research grants, the generation of chronic pain animal models and the training of research students and staff.

The Cardiac Anaesthesia Research Group actively publishes on outcomes after cardiac surgery, particularly in the fields of acute kidney injury and atrial fibrillation. The Group, headed by A/Prof Ti Lian Kah and Dr Sophia Chew, together with team members Dr Roderica Ng and Ms Vanessa Chua, strives to investigate important adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, particularly as it relates to the different ethnic groups in our South-East Asian population. An important goal of the Group is to focus on identifying unique risk factors, particularly modifiable ones, leading to improved outcomes after cardiac surgery for our patients.
The Group has the advantage of being able to combine outcome data from two of the national heart centres in Singapore – National University Heart Centre, Singapore and National Heart Centre Singapore – which accounts for the vast majority of heart surgeries performed in our country. We actively collaborate with our health care partners, particularly in the area of cardiothoracic surgery and perfusion, and welcome new partners and collaborators.

Team Members:
- Ms Vanessa Chua (Assistant Manager/Research Coordinator)
- Dr Sophia Tsong Huey Chew
- Dr Roderica Ng
The Department teaches Anaesthesia to all undergraduate students of the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, during a dedicated two-week posting in the fourth year of their 5-year medical school. The Department also teaches Anaesthesia to our residents as well as rotating residents from other disciplines and restructured hospitals. The Education Research Group publishes research on new pedagogical methods, particularly in the learning of essential skills such as endotracheal intubation, and in simulation, such as the Cardiac Anaesthesia Simulation Training. These research projects, funded by grants obtained from the University, have been implemented into the teaching curriculum.
Currently, the Group is working on a variety of projects, including simulation, learning of skills, patient safety, peer teaching, learning through gaming, and provision of feedback. An important goal of the Group is to translate what works in our research to the teaching of our students and residents.

- Quality Improvement & Patient Safety (QuIPS) Group
The QuIPS workgroup was set up in 2011 under the leadership of Associate Professor Eugene Liu. The workgroup aims to execute the patient safety plans of the department through a systematic approach. This includes providing leadership, setting up and executing policies, ensuring information flow, identifying and correcting problems, promoting organisational and individual learning and setting standards for structure, process and outcomes. One key component of the workgroup involves the continual audit of key performance indicators for patient safety and outcomes through the collection of data and analysing these data on a quarterly basis. Areas of deficiencies are identified and interventions are implemented to improve patient safety and quality of care. Examples of recent projects include patient handovers in Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and nurse controlled analgesia to improve patient’s pain management in the PACU.
