Benjamin Singer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioBen Singer is a postdoctoral scholar with interests in mathematical epidemiology and global public health. Ben's research career began with an internship at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, where he applied quantitative skills he had learnt studying physics at the University of Oxford to the study of nematode locomotion. Ben further pursued quantitative methods in life sciences in the Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership at the University of Oxford, earning a DPhil (PhD equivalent) in mathematical methods for evaluating pandemic risk and control. During these studies he maintained an interest in global public health policy, interning with the UK government's Department for International Development, where he developed models of international COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Ben is now working in Nathan Lo's research group at Stanford, creating infectious disease models informing public health policy for schistosomiasis, hepatitis E, and other infections.

Gulshan Singh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research interest is to understand the host-microbial pathways in intestinal inflammation. I am working to explore cellular heterogeneity at single immune cell level in systemic and local regions of the intestine that are associated with different Inflammatory bowel disease conditions.

Shashi Singh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioAs a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University's Department of Radiology since 2023, I have the privilege of contributing to Dr. Heike E. Daldrup-Link's laboratory, where my research focuses on clinical and translational molecular imaging. My work is dedicated to the development and application of artificial intelligence algorithms for the automated detection and monitoring of pediatric cancers, including lymphoma and sarcomas, using PET and MRI. This encompasses AI-driven multimodal pediatric lymphoma detection, automating the Deauville score, and predicting post-chemotherapy responses in pediatric osteosarcomas. Additionally, I am investigating the effects of iron-oxide nanoparticles on tumor-associated macrophages in osteosarcoma using MRI. My professional journey in medicine began with two years as a physician in Nepal (2019-2021), where I gained a profound understanding of diverse and complex disease conditions. Subsequently, I served as a research scholar at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (2021-2023), working with PET/CT using various radiotracers across multiple domains, including hematological malignancies, aging, musculoskeletal, neurological, psychiatric, infectious, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases. Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy exploring local restaurants, going for long drives, hiking, and playing sports such as soccer, cricket, and volleyball. I also love spending time on the beaches.

Mohit Singhala
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioMohit is the Global Innovation Fellow at Impact1, Stanford Biodesign. He comes from India, where he completed his undergraduate training in mechanical engineering.
Mohit leads research at Stanford and Johns Hopkins that leverages robotics principles to understand and address complex systems-level healthcare needs of underserved populations. He is currently developing Maitri, a system that aims to bring the promise of digital health & AI to prenatal screening of mothers seeking care at community health centers of India- combining implementation science and design thinking.
He completed his PhD at Johns Hopkins, where he studied haptics and medical robotics. He built custom electromechanical testbeds to quantitatively assess how humans perceive touch. His work on haptic perception is being used to develop novel therapies for children on the spectrum for Autism and for quantitative measurement of pain in patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy.
He concurrently served as an innovator-in-residence at Johns Hopkins CBID, where he previously earned his MSE in bioengineering innovation and design. He has invented several patented and patent-pending medical devices, performed primary ethnography in multiple countries, and received funding from organizations such as the Gates Foundation. He continues his global health collaborations in India, Uganda and Zambia, where has invented several medical technologies including a mosquito trap, currently being tested in East Africa to accelerate malaria research through large scale capture of different mosquito species.
Mohit also played a crucial role in Hopkins’ COVID-19 pandemic response, most notably helping devise an emergency dialysate production method that was adopted by multiple healthcare facilities.
