Dr Charlene Lau is a Senior Research Fellow at GERI.

Drawing from her physiotherapy background, her research initially focused on occupational drivers, predominantly older adults. This work sparked her broader interest in active ageing, with particular emphasis on physical activity and exercise interventions. Although she has witnessed positive engagement with exercise programmes among many older adults, she recognises the ongoing challenge of reaching those who remain sedentary and encouraging them to embrace more active lifestyles.

Through her involvement and participation in collaborative, multidisciplinary research involving various sectoral partners, she aims to generate evidence that will improve not only the physical health of Singapore's older adults, but more crucially, enhance their overall well-being and quality of life.
