Research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to study microbial biofilms' role in amphetamine use disorders, focusing on glucosyl transferases and their impact on behavior and biofilm formation.
Description
The project focuses on evaluating the role of microbial proteins, glucosyl transferases, in biofilm formation and their impact on amphetamine use disorder. The project involves research on biofilms, microbiome, neuropsychiatric disorders, and drug abuse. It aims to determine how Gtf activity regulates biofilm formation and behavioral responses related to amphetamine use.
