Satinder Kaur Singh is an Associate Professor at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in the molecular mechanisms of neuropsychiatric diseases. Born in Boston and raised in Minneapolis, she received her PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics from the University of Minnesota, where she was supported by the HHMI Predoctoral Fellowship. Her postdoctoral training included a focus on the neuropsychopharmacology and enzymology of neurotransmitter transport. At Yale, her research dives into the function and inhibition of eukaryotic sodium symporters, particularly those involving biogenic amines such as serotonin and dopamine. Singh's work aims to unravel the complexity of signal transduction in the human brain, particularly how alterations in neurotransmitter systems correlate with neuropsychiatric disorders such as OCD and depression. Her lab employs a broad range of biochemical and biophysical tools, including X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry, to investigate the atomic mechanisms of neurotransmitter transport and its implications for drug design.
