Brij B. Singh is the Associate Dean for Research at UT Health San Antonio and a Professor in the Department of Periodontics. He has a broad research focus on the identification and regulation of molecular mechanisms involved in calcium signaling, specifically with TRPC and Orai proteins in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Singh's work aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms regulating calcium differential gene expression in various diseases, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Sjögren's syndrome, Darier's disease, and cancer. He utilizes advanced molecular, biochemical, and physiological methods to develop technologies for the early diagnosis of these diseases. Singh has received continuous funding for more than 20 years, supporting multiple projects through the National Institutes of Health, including investigations into the role of TRPC1 calcium channels in exocrine function and the modulation of calcium signaling by glycolytic metabolites in autoimmune diseases.
