The School of Pharmacy congratulates Dr. Robert Raffa on
his receipt of an NIH grant award in the amount of $450,000. This is a
great achievement and we are very proud of Dr. Raffa’s accomplishments
throughout his career.
This grant will enable Dr. Raffa and his colleague, Dr. Ronald Tallarida,
Temple Medical School, to further study joint action analysis in
withdrawal after poly-drug use. The model of Planaria will be studied
because of their mammalian-like CNS and neurotransmitter systems.
An improved understanding of how withdrawal is influenced by poly-drug
abuse could lead to development of enhanced clinical treatment. |
