The University of Michigan Innovation Partnerships office, which allows experts in the field an opportunity to innovate the field of science through research in partnership with the University of Michigan, has hired Shrishti Singh, PhD, who is an incredibly knowledgeable and talented scientific researcher focused in the fields of molecular biology. Created to drive “Innovations that connect and transform”, the Innovation Partnership program at the University of Michigan allows researchers a space to turn their ideas into reality, all while offering them a chance to license and commercially launch their projects.
In her role at the University of Michigan Innovation Partnerships Office, Singh will work to drive crucial research that will be used to help a facet of either science or a specific industry.

She brings a rich background in the life sciences and innovative research which she will use to create impactful products for the use of society in the future.
Singh provides her perspective on her move, “As an academic who got a PhD and then a postdoc, a jump into a different career path did feel scary. I had a lot of self-doubt and apprehensions, but I do think quality of mine helped with this decision. I am never afraid to try new things and to fail. I truly love to learn new things, and I genuinely cannot wait to learn several new things at my current position.”
