Todd Davies, PhD is the Associate Director of Research for the Division of Addiction Sciences at Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. He has been instrumental in forming a number of community coalitions focused on addiction recovery and has experience in the development and implementation of clinical research trials of various sizes and design, with particular expertise in recruiting patients in Appalachia and with substance use disorder. His current research is centered on links between individuals with substance use issues and comprehensive systems of care with a particular interest in the consequences of in utero exposure to neuroactive substances and childhood trauma. These studies exploit a novel community data platform that utilizes a home-rule governance platform developed at Marshall to share private data securely and ethically across disparate platforms. Dr. Davies works with a population that demonstrates high levels of poly-substance abuse and the resulting differential symptomology. Dr. Davies has developed a research network that brings together advanced care, community outreach and healthcare informatics.
