Dr. Bhavreet Singh was born and raised in Punjab before moving to Toronto. He went to medical school at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences and completed his Internal Medicine residency in Manhattan at New York Medical College/Metropolitan Hospital. Dr. Singh chose Infectious Disease because infections make up such a big part of internal medicine, and he wanted to get better at navigating antimicrobial use. In Utah, he has found a program with great variety, supportive leadership, and a special bonus—Salt Lake City is home for his wife. He has a budding interest in orthopedic and soft tissue infections. Beyond medicine, he enjoys motorbiking, singing, experimenting in the kitchen, and doing yoga.
Dr. Jeremiah Matson hails from the beautiful state of West Virginia, where he graduated from the MD-PhD program at Marshall University (Go Herd!). He undertook the entirety of his dissertation research through the NIH's Graduate Partnership Program at the NIH/NIAID Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, MT. There he was mentored by Dr. Vincent Munster, PhD in the Virus Ecology Section on an Ebola virus project in a biosafety level 4 setting. During the final year of his PhD in 2020, Jeremiah had the unique privilege of contributing to some of the early laboratory studies of SARS-CoV-2. He then completed his Internal Medicine training here at the University of Utah as part of the Physician Scientist Training Program and has since joined the laboratory of Nels Elde, PhD. He is excited for the opportunity to combine clinical infectious diseases training with ongoing research mentorship on emerging viruses. Outside of the hospital and lab, Jeremiah enjoys going on adventures with his wife and teaching his 4 (soon to be 5) children to play soccer, ski, and not step on the flowers in his garden.
