Amar Singh

Amar Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Minnesota Medical School with a robust research program spanning immunology, microbiome interactions, and cancer biology. His work contributes significantly to understanding regulatory T cell mechanisms in health and disease.

Dr. Singh's research focuses on several interconnected areas:

• Regulatory T Cell Immunology and Microbiology (100% fingerprint match)
• Microbiome-mediated T cell regulation and inflammation
• Transplantation tolerance in nonhuman primates
• Neuroimmunology and brain regulatory T cell function
• Glioblastoma immunology and therapeutic development

His publication record shows a clear evolution from basic immunological mechanisms toward translational applications, particularly in cancer immunotherapy and transplantation. Recent work demonstrates sophisticated integration of microbiome science with T cell regulation, revealing novel pathways for therapeutic intervention.

Dr. Singh is actively involved in four major research projects:

• Growing Beta Cell Replacement in T1D by Tolerizing Stem Cell-Derived Islets (2025)
• Advancing Transplantation Tolerance in Nonhuman Primates (2023-2028)
• REVEAL - Research Evaluating Vagal Excitation and Anatomical Linkages (2022-2025)
• Deep Immune Profiling of Nonchimeric Tolerance of Transplants (2022-2024)

His collaborative network spans multiple departments and institutions, with frequent co-authorship with Singh G., Kim S., Prasad S., and Hering B.J., reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern immunological research.
