While working at the NIA from 1984-2000, he also served on the adjunct faculty of Johns Hopkins University.
Over the past two decades, Dr. Ingram’s research has involved developing behavioral assays of aging in rodents and recently in primates with focus on motor and memory performance as well as assessing various pharmacological, genetic and nutritional interventions that affect brain aging. He has been involved in the development of patented pharmaceuticals for treatment of memory dysfunction. His contribution also includes an extensive background in calorie restriction, including a longitudinal study in monkeys.
Dr. Ingram has authored more than 250 publications in his field and has served on several editorial boards of aging journals, including the Neurobiology of Aging and the Journals of Gerontology.
