NIDA has selected postdoctoral researchers from Germany and Thailand to receive INVEST Drug Abuse Research Fellowships:
Laura Brandt, Ph.D. (Germany), will work with Edward Nunes, M.D., as an INVEST/Clinical Trials Network (CTN) fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Brandt just completed an Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship supported by the Austrian Science Fund, where she was the principal investigator on a project that evaluated fidelity and implementation of programs to prevent opioid overdose and distribute Naloxone to opioid users. She has also conducted research on violent experiences among females diagnosed with gambling disorder. During her fellowship, Dr. Brandt plans to identify and validate surrogate endpoints for long-term opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment outcomes using an aggregate data set of four large, multisite, pragmatic CTN trials that have tested all three FDA-approved medications to treat OUD as well
Covid-19 vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech significantly appear less effective against the Covid variant that first emerged in South Africa, finds a new study. The study, published in the journal Nature, indicated that the percentage of protective antibodies that neutralised the variant B.1.351 was 12.4 times lower for Moderna s Covid-19 shot, while Pfizer s vaccine was found to be 10.3 times lower. According to the researchers, including Manoj S Nair from Columbia University Irving Medical Center in the US, multiple vaccine constructs have shown promise, including two with 95 per cent protective efficacy against Covid-19. However, these interventions were directed toward the initial SARS-CoV-2 that emerged in 2019.
