Dr Tejas P Singh is a Junior Doctor at The Townsville Hospital and a Research Fellow at the Queensland Research Centre for Peripheral Vascular Disease (QRCPVD) at the School of Medicine and Dentistry, James Cook University. After graduating from a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, Dr Singh completed a Masters of Public Health and is currently undertaking a Doctor of Philosophy at James Cook University. Dr Singh’s research commitment is illustrated by multiple publications in high-impact peer reviewed journals and numerous presentations at international and national level conferences. Dr Singh aspires to provide quality clinical care to patients with vascular diseases and contribute research aimed at improving the management of peripheral vascular diseases. Dr Singh has been awarded multiple grants from a range of organisations including the Queensland Government. Of note, in 2017 Dr Singh was awarded a research fellowship from the Queensland Government valued at $250,000 to support his research aimed at investigating novel methods of estimating prognosis for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Research/Projects:

• Identifying novel drug, diagnostic and prognostic targets for peripheral arterial diseases and associated cardiovascular complications.
• Evaluating the prognostic utility of biomechanical estimates of wall stress for abdominal aortic aneurysms.  
• Investigating the presenting characteristics and clinical outcomes of Indigenous Australians with peripheral arterial disease.
• Investigating the clinical utility of blood markers to monitor progress and treatment efficacy in peripheral arterial disease.
• Development and validation of a novel angiographic scoring system for peripheral arterial disease.
• Investigating the association of Computed Tomographic lower limb muscle characteristics with lower limb and cardiovascular events in patients with peripheral artery disease.
