Rate My Professor Nabita Singh

Nabita Singh is a Lecturer and Course Director of the Bachelor of Radiation Sciences in the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, School of Primary and Allied Health Care, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University. She coordinates and teaches several units across the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours) program, Bachelor of Radiation Sciences program, Graduate Certificate in Magnetic Resonance Imaging program, and Master of Radiation Therapy program. Her teaching expertise encompasses evidence-based practice for health professionals, research methodology, research ethics, and healthcare ethics. She supervises students in research settings within the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging program. Singh holds a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and a Master of Bioscience Enterprise (Honours) from the University of Auckland and is a part-time PhD candidate in the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences. Her doctoral research investigates the role of central nervous system pathways in patients with chronic cough hypersensitivity syndrome via functional magnetic resonance imaging and is supervised by Dr. Matthew Dimmock, Dr. Sharna Jamadar, and Professor Stuart Mazzone.

Singh joined the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences in November 2013 as a Research Assistant, contributing to significant projects including coordinating a national, multi-hospital NHMRC-funded study on the thermal effects of cranial ultrasound in premature neonates. Prior to this role, she served as a Research Assistant in Monash University's Department of General Practice, leading projects on the role of general practitioners in managing compensable work-related physical and mental health injuries, such as the GRIP Study funded by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Earlier, she worked in the pharmaceutical industry in New Zealand in research and development, intellectual property, and change management. Her research interests include medical imaging and allied healthcare, functional magnetic resonance imaging, cognitive neuroscience, primary health care, radiation safety, medical imaging, ultrasound, compensation for injury, and cough hypersensitivity. Key publications are 'Brainstem processing of cough sensory inputs in chronic cough hypersensitivity' (2024, eBioMedicine), 'Magnetic resonance imaging-guided single-fraction preoperative radiotherapy for early-stage breast cancer (the RICE trial): feasibility study' (2024, Pilot and Feasibility Studies), 'Potential of MRI in Assessing Treatment Response After Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy Treatment in Breast Cancer Patients: A Scoping Review' (2024, Clinical Breast Cancer), 'Peripheral and central mechanisms of cough hypersensitivity' (2020, Journal of Thoracic Disease), and 'Surveillance Practice for Sonographic Detection of Intracranial Abnormalities in Premature Neonates: A Snapshot of Current Neonatal Cranial Ultrasound Practice in Australia' (2020, Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology).
