Ravinder J. Singh, Ph.D., is the director of the Mayo Clinic Endocrine Laboratory. He has a focused area of investigation that has broad applicability to the field. Dr. Singh studies the application of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to clinical laboratory analysis. Many of the methods that Dr. Singh developed are now considered reference methods. They have subsequently been utilized for method standardization efforts as well as to establish clinical disease correlates, which he has published with his collaborators.

Dr. Singh has published work on original LC-MS/MS methods, including such analytes as cortisol, synthetic corticosteroids, metanephrines, estradiol, vitamin D and urine albumin, among others. He continues to work toward developing new applications for this technology. The Endocrine Laboratory currently performs 3,500 tests a day for determining vitamin D deficiency using online extraction and LC-MS/MS methods. The volume of vitamin D testing has surpassed the testing performed by an automated analyzer in a large reference lab. Dr. Singh also is focused on increasing the throughput of the LC-MS/MS methods in the clinical laboratory.
