They will be able to use and be trained at techniques described above and will be encouraged to bring/develop novel methods and approaches based on interests and evolution of the projects. Current projects investigate the biology of opioid signaling in chronic pain and opioid use disorder, with the opportunity to expand into new substances and research areas of disease.
