In this issue, we explore how LKCMedicine continues to chart new frontiers in medical education and research. Our cover story highlights how artificial intelligence is transforming learning, practice, and discovery.

 

We also take readers inside the next phase of LKCMedicine’s journey, with the expansion of our Novena campus to meet the needs of a growing student community and foster even closer collaboration across disciplines. 

 

Our research spotlight shines on breakthroughs unveiled at RegenAge Singapore 2026 and a promising NTU‑LKCMedicine discovery of a gut‑based compound that could safely support weight management. 

 

Our students demonstrate the heart of medicine in action through the Migrant Worker Health Carnival 2026, bringing healthcare and hope to those who need it most.
