"Science should be driving our drug policies, even if it makes us uncomfortable."

General Area of Research

Behavioral and neuropharmacological effects of psychoactive drugs in humans

Current Research

We are interested in investigating the behavioral and neuropharmacological effects of psychoactive drugs in human research participants. A major focus of this laboratory-based research is to understand factors that mediate drug self administration behavior and to develop effective treatments. More recently, we have made attempts to translate our lab-based knowledge into more humane drug policies.
