Academic Information
Research Profile
Dr. Singh has numerous publications in a variety of fields in nuclear medicine. His most noteworthy research and publications relate to therapeutic applications of Sm-153 EDTMP in bone cancer and radionuclide techniques and applications in the gastrointestinal system. He was instrumental in taking Sm-153 EDTMP from bench research to the clinical arena at MU Health Care. His pharmacokinetics study of Sm-153 EDTMP in humans with bone cancer documented suitability of Sm-153 EDTMP as a potential therapeutic agent for metastatic bone pain. His subsequent work in patients with metastatic bone cancer investigated a dose that might be effective for cancer-related bone pain palliation. He has served as a co-investigator on 29 research grants and has nearly 200 peer-reviewed publications, abstracts and other scientific presentations. He has been frequently invited to speak at national and international professional and scientific conferences.
