Center for Antisocial Drug Dependence: Genetics
This Center was funded to study genetic influences on, and treatment of, antisocial drug dependence, under a NIDA (DA 11015) grant. We represent a collaborative effort across two campuses of the University of Colorado, and the expertise of four research organisations:
The Division of Substance Dependence of the Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver
The Institute for Behavioral Genetics of the University of Colorado at Boulder
The Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado at Boulder
