Scherrer Earns Three Grants for Innovative Pain, Opioid Research
Date Time Scherrer Earns Three Grants for Innovative Pain, Opioid Research The lab of Greg Scherrer, PhD, associate professor in the UNC Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, investigates the precise ways in which opioids interact with brain mechanisms and then, armed with a better understanding of the underlying biology, the lab pursues new ways to block pain without causing significant side effects. A member of the UNC Neuroscience Center, Scherrer received three grants totaling more than $11 million to continue his work. The National Institutes of Health’s Helping to End Addiction L...
