His current research focuses on definin g the major sources of mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide (mH2O2)\, its role in eliciting signals that are beneficial to cells\, and how reversible red ox modifications that are sensitive to antioxidant defense status\, like g lutathionylation and nitrosylation\, modulate rates of mH2O2 generation. H e has successfully shown enzymes like alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (K GDH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) serve as vital mH2O2 sources for the maintenance of optimal liver health and that defects in the redox regulat ion of both enzymes can cause hepatic\, cardiac\, and metabolic diseases. \n\nHe has published 90 articles\, has an h-index of 41\, and his work has been cited over 5\,200 times (SCOPUS) and is an executive member of the C anadian Oxidative Stress Consortium.\n\nAbout the 4 o'Clock Forum Seminar Series\n\n9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ's Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences has tremendous expertise and opportunities for innovations in research on agri culture\, the environment\, health\, food\, nutrition\, pests and parasite s\, including from a biotechnology perspective. However\, there are limite d opportunities for faculty\, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students t o share their common interests in these areas.\n\nIn order to bring togeth er the Macdonald Science Community\, we have initiated a monthly seminar s eries—'4 O'clock Forum'—where faculty members and postdoctoral fellows are invited to present their work. Through these seminars on the Macdonald ca mpus\, researchers and graduate students will have regular opportunities t o be exposed to scientific advancements related to their own fields of res earch as well as other scientific areas. Graduate and undergraduate studen ts can benefit from these academic opportunities\, all of which are aimed at stimulating critical discussions about contemporary research and issues in the agriculture and environment\, to foster increased interactions amo ng the Macdonald faculty\, and to highlight our ability to deliver outstan ding scientific contributions.\n\nPlease jaswinder.singh [at] mcgill.ca (c ontact Professor Jaswinder Singh) with any questions.\n DTSTART:20231130T210000Z DTEND:20231130T220000Z LOCATION:R3-048\, Raymond Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V 9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:4 o' Clock Forum: Understanding the molecular oxygen paradox URL:/macdonald/channels/event/4-o-clock-forum-understa nding-molecular-oxygen-paradox-352531 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
