About

About Dr. Low Yin Yee Sharon Dr. ​Sharon Low is Neurosurgeon in singapore graduated with an MBBS from Monash University (Australia) and has completed her Advanced Surgical Training (Neurosurgery) at the National Neuroscience Institute (Singapore). Her personal interest is in neuro-oncology and other CNS-related neoplasms. This led to her embarking on a research Ph.D. at the National University of Singapore (NUS). In February 2015, she successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis titled ‘Characterizing therapeutically resistant human glioblastoma cells. She continues in pursuit of research interests centered around pediatric brain tumors and their oncogenic mechanisms. She strongly believes in a holistic approach in the management of patients afflicted by difficult brain tumours, whereby there is a need to combine good neurosurgical techniques, in-depth molecular research, and more importantly for the patients and their families, psychosocial support for better disease management.
