Dr Shilpee has been working at the Department of Child Development at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) since 2015. She has a keen interest in understanding the impact/role of early childhood adversity with specific focus on caregiver mental health on subsequent learning, development and behavioural profile of children.

She is currently involved in building a caregiver mental health service framework at DCD.
