Over the past decade, she has studied the predictive relationship between genetic variation in drug metabolism and the likelihood of addiction, as well as how metabolism within the brain alters the effects of drugs and toxins. This research will help identify novel mechanisms that can lead to new therapeutic targets and personalized treatment for smoking cessation and other addictions.</p> <p>“The 91Թ community is proud of Rachel Tyndale and the impact of her work on society,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/">University Professor</a>&nbsp;<strong>Ted Sargent</strong>, vice-president, research and innovation, and strategic initiatives.&nbsp;“Her research is actively reducing health-care costs while improving the quality of life for millions around the world who struggle with addiction.”&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 24 Nov 2020 19:26:50 +0000 lanthierj 166542 at
