Inspired By Innovation

Dr. Manpreet Singh is presently working as a Research Scientist-I in the Department of Defense Biotechnology High Performance Computing Software Applications Institute, Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, United States Army Medical Research and Development Command, Fort Detrick, Maryland and The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc., Bethesda, Maryland, United States. Dr. Singh recently completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. During his Ph.D., Dr. Singh worked on an National Science Foundation (NSF-1705538) funded project title Mild Hyperthermia to enhance delivery of therapeutic nanocarriers in tumors: imaging, in vivo study, and simulation”. He also exhibits, research internship experience during Ph.D. at “Maryland Proton Treatment Center”, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Maryland, USA and Abbott Biomedical Inc, Texas, USA. His research interests include Image based computational modelling approach to plan, develop and optimize protocols in clinical hyperthermia, hypothermia therapies. During his Ph.D., Dr. Singh developed integrated computationally-predictive models based on in-vivo laboratory experiments on PC3 tumors to understand the interplay between different nanoparticle-mediated heat and mass transport mechanisms under micro-CT image guidance. His research explains the correlation among blood perfusion, permeability, porosity, interstitial fluid pressure, diffusion, accumulation, retention, penetration, and vascular tortuosity affected by heating and providing means to extrapolate the in-vivo results from mouse models to clinical applications. In 2017, he had worked with company Capillary Biomedical Inc., California on a NIH funded project in association with Rowan University, New Jersey and Thomas Jefferson University, Pennsylvania to design novel multi-perforated infusion catheters for type-1 diabetes patients. More recently, Dr. Singh was conferred with "Kolmogorov-Wiener Young Researcher Award" under the age of 35 at VIth International Conference on Applied Mathematics, Modeling and Computational Science (AMMCS, 2023). He was also conferred with Inaugural "Graduate Student of the Month Award" by the Graduate School, University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2019 and "Student Researcher of the Quarter" by the Translational Nanosciences at UMBC in 2021. He is also the member of "Society for Thermal Medicine". His application was also ranked second by the European Research Council in a laser-optimal project, Italy.
