The UNC School of Pharmacy has extended Associate Professor Scott Singleton’s appointment with tenure.
Singleton, PhD, joined the School’s Division of Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products in 2003 as a nontenure associate professor. Before coming to UNC-Chapel Hill, he was an assistant professor in Rice University’s Department of Chemistry and Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology.
Singleton earned bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and biology at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, and obtained his doctorate in organic chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. He did his postdoctoral fellowship at Penn State University.
Singleton’s research focuses on the interface of chemistry and biology. He currently has more than $1.1 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health to study the molecular basis for the evolution of drug resistance in pathogenic microorganisms. Singleton, the director of graduate admissions in his division, also is an award-winning teacher of organic and medicinal chemistry.
