Dr Sharon Low is currently the Head of the Neurosurgical Service at the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
She finished her Advanced Surgical Training (Neurosurgery) at the National Neuroscience Institute (Singapore). In 2015, she obtained her research PhD at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and her specialty FRCS (Surgical Neurology) exams. In her pursuit of holistic care for patients, she undertook the Graduate Diploma of Palliative Medicine (GDPM) in 2020.
At present, she is an Assistant Professor at the Duke-NUS School of Medicine and is one of the Principal Investigators of the VIVA-KKH Paediatric Brain and Solid Tumours Laboratory. She strongly believes that the best approach to managing patients requires good neurosurgical techniques and in-depth understanding of each condition.
Her ethos is that lives of patients can only be objectively improved through evidence-based medicine. Her main research focus is in paediatric neuro-oncology, with focus on difficult childhood brain tumours that are resistant to treatment.
To date, she has contributed over 70 peer-reviewed clinical and scientific publications and continues to do so as part of her commitment to academic medicine. In addition, she has won many awards in health services, research, and clinical contributions at institutional and national levels.
