Professor Michael W. L. Chee is Professor and Director of the Centre for Sleep and Cognition at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. He received his MBBS from NUS in 1983 and completed specialist training in internal medicine and neurology. He undertook a Fellowship in Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation from 1990 to 1992, which led to further work at the Massachusetts General Hospital NMR Centre. Prior to his current role, he served as Professor in the Neuroscience and Behavioral Disorders Programme at Duke-NUS Medical School from 2006 and was Director of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience and Visiting Consultant at Singapore General Hospital from 2014.
His research focuses on the neurobehavioral and imaging correlates of sleep deprivation, cognitive ageing, and strategies to mitigate the effects of restricted or degraded sleep on performance, well-being, and health. He employs objective measures of sleep, cognition, mood, and physiological markers, along with wearable technologies and digital phenotyping tools. Professor Chee is the recipient of the BMRC-NMRC Senior Clinician Investigator Award (2005), the NMRC Singapore Translational Research Investigator (STaR) Award (2008, renewed 2013 and 2020), and the National Outstanding Clinician-Scientist Award (2009). In 2020, he was inaugurated as a Fellow of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. His work has been widely cited and featured in international media including Time Magazine, The Economist, and the BBC.
NUS researchers demonstrate how Oura Ring PPG signals during sleep estimate vascular age, enabling early cardiovascular risk detection. Explore the study, science, and implications for Singapore's health landscape.
