Research done by Asst Prof Bobby Cheon and Dr Aaron Sim from NTU School of Social Sciences showed that people are likely to snack less if they anticipate eating a meal that is healthy and filling later in the day.

NTU Singapore is pioneering the use of 3D-printed anatomical specimens for medical education in Singapore. Just last month, students at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, jointly set up by NTU and Imperial College London, started learning anatomy with 3D-printed specimens. The made-in-NTU 3D-printed specimens are the latest example of NTU turning to innovative learning tools to prepare its medical students, as the medical education landscape shifts in tandem with the influx of digital technologies.
