Research Focus
Dr. Michael R. Tadross's lab at Duke University focuses on advancing neuropharmacology to improve treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders. The lab is developing an innovative technology called DART, which allows for precise drug delivery to specific types of brain cells in a noninvasive way. By understanding and targeting the cellular mechanisms of behavior, the team aims to transform how we study brain disorders and enhance treatment options for patients.
