The very first Symposium organized by DUKE-NUS Early Career
Scientist Association (DUNEs) was held successfully
on Nov 13, 2009 (Friday) at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School,
Singaproe, which consisted of serval well-designed programs:
morning in-house oral presentations by DUKE-NUS researchers,
afternoon career development talks by industry professionals,
a whole day poster presentation, prize award ceremony for
DUKE-NUS Photography competition 2009 and of course very nice
lunch & tea breaks plus WINE and CHEESE which were generously
sponsored by Office of Research, DUKE-NUS and bio-companies.
This is a fitting event to showcase the scientific excellence
of our junior research staff, and to encourage the sharing
and communication of scientific knowledge and expertise within
Duke-NUS. This inaugural Symposium served perfectly as the
first of many such celebrations of the achievements of our
early career scientists. The image above is the prize winning
