About

About Dr. Keong Nicole Chwee Har ​Dr. Keong is a Malaysian-born, Cambridge-trained academic neurosurgeon with an interest in reversible brain injury. In addition to obtaining a Certificate for the Completion of Training (CCT) in the UK, she was awarded MPhil and MD degrees from the University of Cambridge. For her MD, she received the Raymond Horton-Smith prize (founded 1900) for best thesis. She has research interests in clinical interventions to modify disease outcomes. Her focus is on acute-on-chronic reversible brain injury and developing neuroimaging biomarkers using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) methodology to characterize white matter injury patterns remediable with surgical intervention. She is involved in scoring strategies for risk stratification, early diagnosis and prognostication of mild-to-moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), as well as translating cognitive neuroscience into learning micro-interventions. She has various publications under her name.
