Singh completed her allergy-immunology fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The goal of her work is to enhance the clinical care of atopic patients by both advancing clinical care and by understanding mechanisms of disease. She is currently leading the Childhood Allergy and NeOnatal Environment (CANOE) birth cohort study in the NIH Environmental Childhood Health Outcomes (ECHO) study. She also co-leads the UW site for the Systems Biology of Early Atopy (SUNBEAM) CoFAR study, in addition to her translational work.
