Dr. Ai Peng Tan is an Assistant Professor (Clinician Scientist) at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and a Senior Consultant Pediatric Neuroradiologist at the National University Hospital, Singapore. Dr. Tan is a Clinician-Scientist funded by the National Medical Research Council and a Principal Investigator at the A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential (A*STAR IHDP). At IHDP, Dr Tan assumes leadership of the Neuroimaging Domain and spearheads neuroimaging research pertaining to GUSTO, the biggest birth cohort study in Singapore. Dr. Tan completed her Pediatric Neuroradiology Fellowship at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, NHS Foundation Trust, which included a pivotal research attachment at the Centre for the Developing Brain, King’s College London. This experience laid the foundation for a distinguished career in paediatric brain mapping research. Dr. Tan possesses in-depth knowledge of various advanced neuroimaging techniques, including diffusion tensor imaging and functional MRI, that form the basis of human brain mapping. Her research focuses on clinical translation of MRI-based brain connectivity profiling, particularly in neurodevelopmental and mental health disorders. She is currently recognised as the sole neuroradiologist in Singapore actively conducting research in the mapping of the developing human brain. Driven by a vision to embed MRI-based brain network profiling into clinical practice for children with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, Dr. Tan is actively engaged in the development of brain-network targeted interventions to further advance this critical field of research.
