Rohit Singh

Assistant Professor of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics
Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, Division of Integrative Genomics

Overview


Rohit Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics and Cell Biology at Duke Univ. His research interests are broadly in computational biology, with a focus on using machine learning to make drug discovery more efficient. Currently, he's exploring how single-cell genomics and large language models can help decode disease mechanisms and aid in identifying new targets and drugs. He is the recipient of the Test of Time Award at RECOMB, MIT's George M. Sprowls Award for his PhD thesis in Computer Science, and Stanford's Christopher Stephenson Memorial Award for Masters Research in the same field. In addition to academia, he has experience in the industry.
