Organization

The Center's director is Dr. Allen W. Song, who succeeded the founding director Dr. Gregory McCarthy (currently with Yale University) in August 2006. He is assisted scientifically and administratively by Dr. Scott A. Huettel, Associate Director for Cognitive Neuroscience and Dr. Michele Diaz, Assistant Director. An oversight committee, consisting of chairs from participating departments across Duke (Psychiatry, Neurobiology, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience) and UNC (Psychiatry), provides the Director with strategic direction for the Center. In addition, a scientific review committee steers the research aims and provides guidance to the Director on resource allocations.
