Dr. Singhal is originally from San Mateo and she received her undergraduate degree in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University. She then attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York where she completed her M.D. program while also receiving a Ph.D. in Molecular Pharmacology. She completed her Surgical Residency at the University of Washington in Seattle in one of the nation’s top surgical training programs. When Dr. Singhal was completing her residency, she decided to complement her understanding of molecular pharmacology of cancer medications with a clinical specialty in surgical oncology. She went on to complete a fellowship in Surgical Oncology at the City of Hope National Cancer Center, a leader in Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology (MISO). Her research there focused on discovering the interactions of chemotherapy and a wide spectrum of natural agents, and the impact on liver function.
Dr. Singhal has extensive training in the cellular and molecular mechanisms in the development of malignancy. Clinically, she has a multidisciplinary approach- considering Chemotherapy, Radiation and Surgery. It provides Dr. Singhal a comprehensive view of cancer and a better opportunity to treat the disease. In 2005, she became the Medical Director for the Cancer Program at El Camino Hospital. With her leadership, the program has expanded from 200 new patients a year to over 700 new patients per year, and has received certification from the Commission on Cancer with 6 commendations in 2013 and 2016. More recently, she has been involved in medical device start ups and digital health. She serves as the Chief Medical Officer for Cyrcadia Health the manufacturer of the Smart Bra. She is the Primary Investigator for several clinical trials, including a BioBank with the Canary Center at Stanford.
