Kathie Karagiannis

Karandeep Singh, MD, MMSc, is an Assistant Professor of Learning Health Sciences, Internal Medicine, Urology, and Information at the University of Michigan. He is a nephrologist with a background in biomedical informatics who uses machine learning methods to model electronic health record and registry data in support of a learning health system. He directs the Machine Learning for Learning Health Systems lab which focuses on using machine learning and biomedical informatics methods to understand and improve health at scale. His research spans multiple clinical domains including nephrology, urology, emergency medicine, obstetrics, and ophthalmology. He is the associate workgroup director for the University's Precision Health Implementation Workgroup, which supports the implementation of campus-wide scientific discoveries into patient care. He chairs the Michigan Medicine Clinical Intelligence Committee, which focuses on implementation of machine learning models across the health system. He teaches a graduate-level health data science course. He completed his internal medicine residency at UCLA Medical Center, where he served as chief resident, and a nephrology fellowship in the combined Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital program in Boston, MA. He completed his medical education at the University of Michigan Medical School and holds a master’s degree in medical sciences in Biomedical Informatics from Harvard Medical School. He is board certified in internal medicine, nephrology, and clinical informatics.
