Individual differences in liability to substance abuse and related psychopathology. Principal investigator of the family study component of our Drug Abuse Research Center.
Active Grants:
- NIDA R01 DA053693 (MPIs: Hopfer, Stallings, Wall) 8/15/2022 - 5/31/2027. The project proposes to identify genetic and environmental risk factors underlying the progression of early-onset substance use and antisocial behavior, and identify factors that contribute to the persistence of these behaviors into adulthood. Role: MPI
- 2022- 2027 NIDA R01 Genetics and progression of early-onset substance use and antisocial behavior (Multiple PIs: Christian Hopfer, Michael Stallings, and Tamara Wall), Total Direct Costs: $2,775,693.
