Mia Allen is The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Highlighted Trainee Author.  

The JPET article that earned her the selection is titled “Contrasting the reinforcing effects of the novel dopamine transport inhibitors JJC8-088 and JJC8-091 in monkeys: Potential translation to medication assisted treatment” and is available at: https://doi.org/10.1124/jpet.124.002356.

The goal of Mia’s research is to identify and evaluate potential treatment approaches for CUD. Through this work, she hopes that we can start developing personalized treatment approaches to reduce cocaine use and help decrease the devastating toll substance use can have on individuals and communities.
