Aligned with the shared goal of eliminating malaria across the Asia-Pacific by 2030, APMEN’s mission focuses on strengthening national programmes through technical advocacy, capacity development, and knowledge exchange. It works in close cooperation with governments, research institutions, WHO, civil society, and policy bodies to translate evidence into action, sustain high-level political commitment, and secure technical and financial resources needed for elimination initiatives.

The Machine Learning & Global Health Network is an international research consortium founded in 2022, bringing together experts across London, Oxford, Bristol, Copenhagen, Kaiserslautern, and Singapore. Comprising 9 principal investigators, 6 postdoctoral researchers, and over 20 students, the network bridges applied, methodological, and theoretical research. Key areas include epidemiology, non-communicable diseases, infectious disease dynamics, Bayesian and spatiotemporal statistics, survey design, and advanced machine learning techniques such as deep learning, graph theory, and kernel methods — all with a shared mission to advance global health through data-driven insight.
Dr. Swapnil Mishra and his team are part of the Singapore chapter of the Machine Learning & Global Health network, using data and machine learning techniques to conduct applied research in epidemiology and public health including topics in climate, environment, and health.
Consortium for Climate Change, Health & Medicine
Together, the Consortium represents a strategic health-centred collaboration between two NUS institutions – the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
This partnership draws together diverse and complementary expertise in epidemiology, public health, data science, environmental management, and biomedicine to advance evidence-based solutions that mitigate the effects of climate change and improve the health, well-being, and performance of individuals, communities, and healthcare systems.
The consortium is composed of the following three organizations:
The Heat Resilience and Performance Centre (HRPC) creates holistic and forward-looking solutions through multi-disciplinary thermal research to address the challenges associated with living and working in rising ambient heat.
The Centre for Sustainable Medicine (CoSM) focuses on transforming clinical practice and health system operations to reduce healthcare’s carbon footprint and strengthen the climate-resilience of health systems globally.
The Climate, Environment and Health (CEH) Programme studies the impacts of climate and environmental change on health in Southeast Asia, with research and outreach activities spanning issues like infectious diseases, air pollution, the built environment, nutrition, and food systems.
