Description:	Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Dr. Singleton is an NIH Distinguished Investigator in the NIA Laboratory of Neurogenetics and will lead the new NIA–NINDS NIH Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (CARD). He researches the genetic basis of neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, dystonia, ataxia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Dr. Singleton will cover his laboratory's work aimed at unraveling the genetics of Parkinson’s disease. This work has resulted in the identification of many causal risk variants and risk loci forming the basis for much of the current mechanistic research and providing targets for therapeutic intervention. He will discuss how genetics has evolved into highly collaborative team science, and how using the capabilities and position of the Intramural Research Program has been critically important in shaping this work. Additionally, he will discuss how his group has been central in the formation of a global research program in Parkinson’s disease, and how this program aims to provide fundamental data and insights while democratizing data access and providing research opportunities for scientists from around the world.
