New Haven, Conn. — The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has renewed a $7 million grant to Yale School of Medicine to speed research discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic for individuals at risk for becoming alcoholic, or for patients who already suffer from alcoholism.
“The gap between basic research advances and new clinical insights and treatments remains a critical obstacle to progress in the field of alcoholism research,” said the principal investigator, John Krystal, M.D., professor and deputy chair for research for the Department of Psychiatry and the VA Connecticut Healthcare System. “This mission is the enduring focus of the Center for Translational Neuroscience of Alcoholism (CTNA) at Yale.”
