The Shirley and Stefan Hatos Center for Neuropharmacology focuses on research
concerned with addictive drugs, including opioids, nicotine and
psychostimulants. It is also home to a National Institute on Drug
Abuse-supported Center for the Study of Opioids Receptors and Drugs of Abuse (CSORDA) which investigates opioid systems at the
molecular, cellular and behavioral levels.
The Hatos Center for Neuropharmacology is named after Shirley and Stefan Hatos whose generous support has facilitated the creation and continued operation of the Center.
