Anita Singh, PhD is the Associate Professor and Chair in the Biomedical Engineering Department at School of Engineering, Widener University Chester, PA. She earned her PhD from Wayne State University, Detroit in Biomedical Engineering. She then completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the Lankenau Hospital, Philadelphia and worked as a Research Associate and the co-Director of Behavior and Biomechanics Core at Drexel University, College of Medicine. She also has industrial experience in a medical device company. Her research has focused on developing a new model of traumatic axonal injury that offers the possibilities of improving the understanding of white matter tract damage in the brain during a traumatic event. Currently, she is involved in developing a new combinational treatment strategy using bioscaffolds and robotic training paradigm in spinally contused and transected rats. This translational research involving bioengineering techniques hold great promises for spinal cord injured patients.
