About

Melvin Khee Shing Leow is an Associate Professor at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in Singapore. His research primarily focuses on obesity-related anthropometrics, maternal metabolic risk factors, and the endocrine effects of climate change. Recent publications include studies on body roundness index, pregnancy-induced alterations in apolipoproteins, and the impact of heat exposure on endocrine functions. Additionally, he has contributed to understanding genetic factors in lipodystrophy and developed methodologies for detecting brown fat.
