Title of the Talk/Lab :
Dr. Satyendra Kumar Singh is working as Additional Professor in Stem Cell/ Cell Culture Lab, Centre for Advance Research, King George`s Medical University, Lucknow, UP. Dr. Singh has done M.Sc. from School of Life Sciences and Advance PG diploma in Bioinformatics from JNU, New Delhi. He did his PhD thesis in field of Radiation Oncology where he worked on “Complexity of DNA damage induced by Ionizing radiation (IR) and dependence of B-NHEJ on growth state” in Prof. George Iliakis Lab, University Hospital Essen, Germany. He published more than 10 research papers in peer reviewed journals. After completing the PhD, he moved to Dr. Philllip Oberdoerffer’s Lab NCI/ NIH, USA, and pursued research on the role of DNA damage-induced epigenetic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance using SIRT1 mouse model. He also worked on role of transcription factors like Id1, Id2, and Id3 on HSC maintenance using various mouse models. His post-doctoral training was very rewarding and published his research work in journals like the Journal of Experimental Medicine(2013), Cell Stem Cells (2018) and Cell Reports (2018, 2020) etc.
He has been awarded with couple of prestigious fellowships like “program to encourage research personnel Non-Resident Indian (NRI), PIO serving abroad, to come back to India for undertaking health research in identified areas” and Ramalingaswami fellowship. He is working on adult stem cells like Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Mesenchymal Stem Cells maintenance and differentiation in degenerative disease using mouse models as well as clinical samples. He is also working on cancer stem cell hierarchy and its metastatic polarization in oral squamous cell carcinoma primary cells.
