About
Dr. Ram Nageena Singh is an accomplished Microbiologist and Genomics Scientist with nearly two decades of research excellence in agricultural microbiology, systems biology, and environmental genomics. He holds both an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Microbiology. Since 2021, he has been a key member of the Sani Lab at South Dakota Mines, where he utilizes machine learning and systems biology (epigenomics, transcriptomics, and regulomics) to decode the "Rules of Life" in sulfate-reducing biofilms on 2D materials—a project supported by the NSF.
Before joining South Dakota Mines, Dr. Singh spent four years as a Scientist for Genomics Applications at AgriGenome Labs in India, following significant roles as a Research Associate at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute and the ICAR-National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms. His early career was marked by a focus on the application of microorganisms in agriculture and the deep analysis of microbial genomes.
Research & Technical Expertise:
• Systems Biology: Specialized in NGS analysis, single-cell genomics, and hybrid genome assembly.
• Environmental Genomics: Extensive experience in metagenomics and the study of extremophiles.
• Computational Tools: Skilled in integrating machine learning and AI into biological data interpretation.
Leadership & Academic Contribution: An educator at heart, Dr. Singh has mentored seven students across Ph.D. and undergraduate levels and has delivered 21 invited talks on subjects ranging from Third Generation Sequencing to the industry-readiness of microbiology curricula. His global footprint includes presentations at prestigious venues such as EMBL-Heidelberg and the FEMS Congress in Switzerland.
In addition to his research, he is deeply involved in scholarly publishing. He serves as an Editorial Board Member for Frontiers in Environmental Microbiology, an Associate Editor for Environmental Sustainability, and a frequent reviewer for high-impact journals including BMC Microbiology, iScience, and PLOS One.
