VIJAY PRATAP SINGH M.SC, Ph.D & PDF
Scientist / DBT-Ramalingaswami Fellow
ICMR-National Institute of Research in Tribal Health
Profile
Dr. Vijay Pratap Singh is currently working as Scientist/DBT-Ramalingaswami Fellow in the area of maternal-child health. After obtaining his post-graduate training in biotechnology from University of Jammu, Jammu and doctorate degree in life sciences from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi/ CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, he moved to Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, USA for his post-doctoral training in the area of genome maintenance. He has joined ICMR-NIRTH in 2023 as Scientist/DBT-Ramalingaswami Fellow and working on role of genome maintenance in placental development and pregnancy complications.
Research Interests
Dr. Vijay Pratap Singh broad interest is in understanding the role of genome maintenance in the cells of the developing placenta, a highly polyploid organ system. His laboratory is using the diverse molecular, cellular, genetic, and proteomics tools available in human cells and M. musculus to identify the regulators of genome maintenance in different placental cell types. His research program has immediate implications for maternal-child health of tribal population but may also have broader implications for understanding fundamental molecular ties between genome maintenance and signalling that underlie aging and cancer
