Arashdeep Singh, Ph.D.

Project Manager and Scientist

My journey in science began at Thapar University, India, where I earned an undergraduate degree in Biotechnology with a focus on gut health and dietary probiotics. I then pursued a Ph.D. at the University of Calgary in the lab of Dr. Prasanth Chelikani, investigating how dietary protein and prebiotic fibers influence gut microbiota, energy balance, and metabolism. Following my Ph.D., I joined Dr. Guillaume (Will) de Lartigue’s lab to study the neurobiology of the gut-brain axis and its role in energy homeostasis. Throughout my research career, I have worked extensively with rodent models of hypertension and obesity, including both monogenic and polygenic models, and developed expertise in metabolic phenotyping across various disease models.

Now, as a Project Manager & Scientist at Research Diets, Inc., I work closely with the Nutrition and BioDAQ departments to help researchers worldwide conduct rigorous, reproducible science. I collaborate with and advise investigators, leveraging my expertise in nutrition research to design well-controlled studies that yield meaningful and reliable results, I share relevant insights that refine experimental approaches and enhance study outcomes. Beyond work, I enjoy mentoring early-career scientists, traveling, socializing, and exploring different cultures. Science has taken me across the world, and I am always eager to learn from new perspectives and collaborations.
