The NIDA Intramural Research Program (IRP) report from May 2006 outlines significant updates and leadership changes. Dr. Kenner Rice, an esteemed medicinal chemist, will join the IRP this summer to oversee PET ligand development. The IRP has partnered with the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center to lower clinical expenses and enhance collaborations. Additionally, major shifts are on the horizon as most of the NIDA IRP relocates to the new NIHBRC on the JHBMC campus. Key appointments include Drs. Yun Wang and Marilyn Huestis, who will lead dedicated research sections.
