From virtual reality to 3D-printed tonsils and spines and even digitised human cadavers, the classroom of tomorrow is already here at Duke-NUS. But beyond the cool factor, how do these tools and innovations actually help medical students learn—and how does one decide what tech belongs in the curriculum? In this episode, Professor Fernando Bello shares how his TELI team brings these education-enhancing innovations into the medical classroom. He discusses how educators are being equipped to int...

Fishing for telomeres: two scientists are measuring how fast our biological clocks tick
In this episode of MEDICUS – the Podcast, we meet two scientists to go fishing. But instead of heading out to sea to cast their lines, their “ocean” is a small tube in which they fish for specific genetic sequences that mark the ends of our chromosomes. Much like the plastic caps at the end of shoelaces, the sequences they hunt for, called telomeres, make sure that our genetic assembly instructions don’t unravel as our cells replicate.Today, we know that these caps not only hold us together a...
