The RARC Training in Addiction Research Program (TARP) welcomes Dr. Heath D. Schmidt, Professor of Neuroscience, Pharmacology, and Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, for a seminar exploring how central GLP-1 receptor signaling influences motivated and drug-seeking behaviors. Dr. Schmidt’s research integrates preclinical models of addiction with cutting-edge molecular, circuit-level, and imaging approaches to identify novel therapeutic targets for substance use disorders. His work offers important insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying addiction and the development of new pharmacological strategies to reduce drug use and relapse.

These events are for all TARP and RARC faculty and trainees, as well as collaborators and friends, so feel free to pass along the invitation to others. Food and drinks will be provided.
