Dr. Priyanka Singh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioscience & Bioengineering at IIT Jodhpur, where her research delves into the mechanisms of centrosome organization and cell proliferation, with a strong emphasis on cancer therapeutics. Combining forward and reverse drug discovery strategies, her lab seeks to identify novel anti-cancer molecules while exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of centrosomes in human diseases.

Dr. Singh completed her B.Sc. in Microbiology (Honours) from the University of Delhi, followed by an M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Muenster, Germany.

Before joining IIT Jodhpur, she conducted postdoctoral research as an EMBO Long-Term Fellow at the Biozentrum, Basel (Switzerland) and as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, Dortmund (Germany). Her contributions to biomedical research have been recognized through prestigious awards, including the INYAS-2025 membership, BRNS Young Scientist Research Award (2021), and DBT-Har Gobind Khorana Innovative Young Biotechnologist Award (2019). Through her interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Singh aims to bridge fundamental discoveries with translational applications in cancer therapy.
