Meet the Team
CARD is a collaborative initiative of the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. CARD scientists engage and collaborate with researchers in government, academia, and industry to create foundational resources and expertise that add broad value to the Alzheimer’s and related dementias field. Our team includes intramural investigators with a secondary or temporary appointment at CARD, extramural or industry scientists with a visiting appointment at CARD, as well as fellows from programs like the Alzheimer and Related Dementias Independent Research Scholars (ARDIS) and the Data Science Master’s Degree Fellowship.
Dr. Singleton received his B.Sc. from the University of Sunderland, UK and his Ph.D. from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
