Yale/NIDA Neuroproteomics Center

The Yale/NIDA Neuroproteomics Center, which was founded 8/23/2004 (DA018343), brings exceptionally strong Yale programs in proteomics and signal transduction in the brain together with neuroscientists from ten other institutions across the U.S. to identify adaptive changes in protein signaling that occur in response to substances of abuse.

The main goal of the Center, whose theme is “Proteomics of Altered Signaling in Addiction”, is to use cutting edge proteomic technologies to analyze neuronal signal transduction mechanisms and the adaptive changes in these processes that occur in response to drugs of abuse.

Twenty-eight faculty with established records of highly innovative research into the molecular actions of psychoactive addictive drugs, as well as of other ...
