Summary
Sumeet Pal Singh is an associate professor and regenerative biology researcher with a decade of independent and international experience spanning India, the US, Germany, and Belgium. Trained at IIT Kanpur and Duke University (Ph.D.), he built a research trajectory from zebrafish fin regeneration to pancreatic beta-cell biology and now leads a lab focused on liver regeneration, stress adaptation, and the pathophysiology of alcoholic liver disease. His work blends live imaging, transcriptomics, CRISPR-based genetics and transgenics to probe cellular plasticity such as cholangiocyte-to-hepatocyte transdifferentiation, aiming to translate basic regenerative principles into therapeutic insight. He secured competitive fellowships (EFSD, Eli Lilly) during his postdoc and a MISU starting grant from FNRS to establish his group, and earned tenure at ULB before returning to India to expand his program at Shiv Nadar University. An underappreciated strength is his sustained use of zebrafish transparency to capture real-time cellular dynamics, enabling experiments that bridge developmental growth, starvation responses, and metabolic disease in a single model system.
