Research
Research Overview:
Dr. Singh's research seeks to improve patient survival and/or quality of life. Partnerships with basic scientists, epidemiologists, statisticians, physicians from other specialties, and hosts of additional experts develop novel, cutting edge care strategies which are then tested in clinical trials. Projects range from the ways radiation impacts the immune system immune system to new agents and approaches to limit the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
