Dr. Andrew Singleton
Dr. Andrew B. Singleton is the director of a new NIH intramural research effort, the Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (CARD). He has been serving as CARD acting director since its construction plan launch in January 2020. He is set to stimulate and lead collaborative research group projects to expand knowledge of the biological mechanisms of Alzheimer’s and related dementias, and to explore methods of treatment and prevention.
“With his decades of experience leading cutting-edge neurodegenerative disease research, Andy is uniquely qualified to inspire and facilitate a collaborative network of multidisciplinary scientists to realize the CARD mission of initiating, stimulating, accelerating and supporting research in Alzheimer’s and related dementias,” said NIA director Dr. Richard Hodes. “I am confident that through his leadership, NIH will continue to make significant advancement toward the development of effective treatments and prevention strategies for these devastating diseases.”
