Our ultimate goal is to improve the lives of people with substance use disorder (i.e. addiction). We test novel therapies for addiction in early-stage clinical trials and use neuroimaging to track how the brain recovers with treatment. With this approach we test whether interventions work and how they work - providing discoveries that can help patients now and advance neuroscience for the future.

To achieve our mission, we uphold these core values:

• Conduct rigorous, ethical scientific research

• Treat every person, regardless of background and role, with respect and kindness. This includes the volunteers in our research studies!

• Approach each other and our work with openness, curiosity, and humility

• Foster a sense of community, friendship, and humor - good science should be FUN!
