Having completed the Cambridge MB-PhD programme under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Dr Ada Teo is currently a Senior Resident at National University Hospital. She has also been appointed Clinical Lecturer under the NUS Clinical Faculty Scheme. Her research is focused on the molecular genetics of hypertension, in particular aldosterone-producing adenomas. This led to the discovery of a subtype of adenomas with hallmark somatic mutations and a genotype-phenotype correlation. This work enabled both clinical insight and research expertise to be intertwined, with patients benefiting from, and contributing to, research into their own hypertension- culminating in her first publication in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2015.
