🎖🎖🎖 Congratulations to Lily Torp, a BioE PhD student! She recently earned a Kirchstein National Research Service Award for Individual Predoctoral Fellows from The National Institutes of Health’s The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Learn more about her studies of genetically encoded sensors and collaboration with UW Medicine’s Center for Excellence in Neurobiology of Addiction, Pain & Emotion. The sensors detect fentanyl in order to study when and where opioids are active in the brain and how certain phenotypes might be more susceptible to addictive behaviors, risk factors, and relapse. https://lnkd.in/g-9Sgg-3 André Berndt Kylie Gallagher Nancy Allbritton University of Washington University of Washington College of Engineering
