Meet our guest

As a lecturer and author, Sydney Singer’s humor, wit, and clear writing styles have made him a highly sought-after speaker and interview guest.

After receiving graduate training in biochemistry and being awarded his master’s degree in anthropology in 1981 from Duke University, Sydney Ross Singer decided to pursue a career in the new and emerging field of medical anthropology. To better understand how culture and environment affect human health, he then went on to complete three years of medical school at the University of Texas to become one of the first medically trained anthropologists in the United States.

In 1994, he founded and currently serves as Co-Director of the Institute for the Study of Culturogenic Disease with his wife and co-research Soma Grismaijer. This pioneering organization is dedicated to discovering the culture-based causes of disease. Using an integrated approach from the fields of biochemistry, anthropology, medical humanities, and medicine, Sydney Singer has made numerous medical discoveries into the cultural causes of various common diseases.
