Description:

The UM system contains numerous federally funded addiction science faculty, outreach programs and training opportunities. MU is home to an NIH funded addiction training grant (T32), the MO-CARE Center – focusing on addiction science, and has developed the NextGen Cognitive Neuroscience Systems (CNS) core facility for conducting translational precision health research. Dr. Froeliger will highlight ongoing efforts from across the system for addressing drug addiction and share his own translational research that is focused on identifying mechanisms of action of new treatments for substance use disorders.
