ADAI Lunch & Learn: Of Mice and Misuse: Preclinical Modeling of Fentanyl Use Disorder

Presenter:  Kevin Coffey, PhD. Research Assistant Professor, UW Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Kevin Coffey is a Research Assistant Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington and a MIRECC Investigator at the VA Puget Sound. His lab aims to identify the neural mechanisms underlying substance use disorders and maladaptive decision making. Dr. Coffey’s current focus is on studying the neurobiological consequences and predictors of chronic fentanyl use. To accomplish this, his lab utilizes cutting-edge in-vivo optical neuroscience tools (photometry, optogenetics, MiniScopes, etc.) along with a newly developed oral fentanyl self-administration model for rats and mice. His recently funded ADAI pilot grant aims to explore the use of the GLP-1R agonist dulaglutide for treatment of fentanyl use disorder in his rodent models. Event interval: Single day event.
