Singh Laboratory

Dr. Nagendra Singh

Professor, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

bmbfaculty

Dr. Singh’s laboratory studies molecular and cellular mechanisms of underlying immune responses against pathogens and cancers.  We utilize a variety of immunological, epigenetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular techniques to study the behavior of immune cells during pathological conditions.

One of the ongoing projects in the laboratory involve studying the development, survival, and function of plasma cells. Plasma cells are factory for producing antibodies molecule that neutralize the invading pathogens. Understanding of these mechanisms is critical in designing improved vaccines against pathogens. 

His other research interest includes how T cells are activated and generate immune responses and help other immune cells to successfully eliminate invading pathogens and cancers.  Under this project, he is studying how T cells become exhausted or toothless during chronic infection and cancers.

Previously, he discovered the mechanism underlying dietary fiber mediated induction of anti-inflammatory mechanisms in intestine such as Treg cells leading to suppression of intestinal inflammation and cancers.

His research is funded by extramural sources such as NIH/NIAID.
