Biography

Dr. Ram Raj Singh is a professor in the Department of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializing in Rheumatology. He has a deep involvement in academic training and directs basic translational research in his field. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of dendritic cell migration, specifically how these cells interact with gamma delta T-cells, and how these processes can be modulated to enhance the efficacy of vaccinations and suppress autoimmune inflammation, particularly in lupus and dermatitis. Dr. Singh's lab collaborates with experts in physiology and neurology to explore the gender bias in immune responses related to autoimmune diseases, investigating how sex chromosome complements influence immune regulation. Additional research projects include examining the role of natural killer T-cells in autoimmune diseases and identifying biomarkers for these conditions in various organ systems. Dr. Singh is well-published, contributing significantly to journals focusing on immunology and autoimmune disorders.
