Abanish Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Duke University. His research focuses on the mechanisms responsible for the causes and progression of public health conditions with the aim of improving human health through cutting-edge translational research. Dr. Singh's interests lie in understanding biobehavioral risk factors and the interactions between environmental stressors and genetic predispositions, particularly in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD). He has identified the EBF1 gene as a novel risk factor influencing CVD pathways and has demonstrated significant effects of psychosocial stress on genetic variants. His studies have emphasized the importance of considering race, sex, and age in genetic studies related to stress and health outcomes. Additionally, he is expanding his research interest to the genetic architecture of Alzheimer's disease and the role of psychosocial stress in modifying genetic risks.
