Kah Leong Lim is an Associate Vice President of Research (Biomedical and Life Sciences) at the NTU President’s office. He is also a President’s Chair in Translational Neuroscience. He was the Vice Dean for Research at LKCMedicine from 2019–2023. Prior to joining LKCMedicine, he served as the Head of the Department of Physiology at the National University of Singapore Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Deputy Research Director at the National Neuroscience Institute. He earned his Ph.D. from the Singapore Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in 1999. Thereafter, he completed his postdoctoral training firstly in the Department of Pathology at Harvard Medical School (2000–2001), and subsequently in the Department of Neurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (2001–2002) where he worked on the topic of Parkinson’s disease with Professor Ted Dawson. He won the prestigious (Singapore) President’s Science Award (Team) and the Singapore Neuroscience Association Distinguished Neuroscientist Award. With a long-term goal to elucidate the molecular events underlying Parkinson’s Disease and to effectively treat the disease, his research centres on mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration, which will reveal targets for neuroprotection.
