Annabelle Singer is an Assistant Professor in the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. The central goal of Dr. Singer’s research program is to understand how neural activity produces memories and spurs the brain’s immune system. Dr. Singer’s research integrates innovative behavioral, electrophysiological, and computational methods to identify and restore failures in neural activity that lead to memory impairment. Dr. Singer has established and continues to develop a new therapeutic approach to Alzheimer’s disease, novel forms of non-invasive stimulation, and new ways to manipulate the brain’s immune system.Additionally, using non-invasive approaches, she is translating her discoveries from rodents to develop radically new ways to treat diseases that affect memory in humans. Dr. Singer completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Ed Boyden’s Synthetic Neurobiology Group at MIT and she received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from UCSF, performing research in the laboratory of Loren Frank.
Prospective Post-doctoral Fellows & Graduate Students
We welcome applications for post-doctoral fellows. Email Dr. Singer with a CV, list of references, summary of your past research and future research directions.
We are seeking highly motivated and innovative graduate students with engineering, computational, or neuroscience experience. Graduate students already accepted into a PhD program at Georgia Tech or Emory, please contact Dr. Singer to arrange a meeting. Prospective graduate students: please apply to one of the graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory or the Neuroscience graduate program at Emory.
