Meet the 2026 Awardee: Navneet Singh, MD, MSc
Navneet Singh, MD, MSc is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine in Providence, Rhode Island, where he serves as a physician-scientist in the Pulmonary Hypertension Center at the Brown University Health Center for Advanced Lung Care. He also serves as the Associate Program Director for Research in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine fellowship program.
Dr. Singh completed his clinical and research training at Brown University. His research program focuses on two intersecting areas in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): the liver-lung inflammatory axis and pulmonary endothelial cell biology. Using human cohort studies, multi-omic approaches, and preclinical models, he investigates how hepatic dysfunction and endothelial dysfunction converge to drive pulmonary vascular remodeling, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic targets for PAH. His work is supported by the American Thoracic Society, the CHEST Foundation, and the Rhode Island Medical Foundation.
Dr. Singh is an active member of the Pulmonary Circulation Assembly, where he serves as Webinars Chair of the Early Career Working Group. He has been invited to speak at national and international meetings including the American Thoracic Society, American Heart Association, and Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute, and serves as a peer reviewer for journals including the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Pulmonary Circulation and CHEST. He is committed to building a research program that translates mechanistic discovery into meaningful clinical impact for patients living with pulmonary hypertension.
