Dr. Andrew Singson

Full Professor Andrew Singson teaches Honors courses in the Department of Genetics and is a member of Graduate Programs in Molecular Biosciences as well as the Waksman Institute of Microbiology. He has research interests in the molecular mechanism of fertilization (sperm-egg interactions). The long-term goal of research in his lab is to understand the molecular events that mediate gamete recognition, adhesion, signaling and fusion. The genetic and molecular dissection of these events will also provide insights relevant to other important cell-cell interactions during the development of multi-cellular organisms. In his free time, Dr. Singson is also the faculty advisor for the Rutgers University Cycling Team.
