Since its formation in 2005, the center has employed psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologists, neuropsychologists and computer scientists who have conducted clinical and translational research that have resulted in new treatments for addictive disorders and extended the application of existing treatments as well as major work to reduce the stigma of addictive disorders.
