Sunday, April 3, 2022
8:35 AM – 8:55 AM
Room: 111 AB - Pennsylvania Convention Center
Introduction: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Yet, very few therapeutic options are available to individuals suffering from opioid use disorder, indicating novel drug development for OUD is critically needed. This panel, chaired by Dr. Jill Turner, the 2021 Division for Neuropharmacology Early Career Awardee, will discuss new and exciting directions in medication development for this debilitating disorder, centered on modulating neuroinflammatory responses to opioid exposure and withdrawal.
