Addiction affects one in ten people. Dr. Ethan Anderson, assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences, studies how addiction rewires the brain’s reward center—the nucleus accumbens—driving powerful cravings for substances like alcohol and opioids. With a $2 million NIH R01 grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, his lab is exploring how changes in this region influence behavior, with the goal of developing therapies that reduce craving and support freedom from addiction.

Dr. Anderson’s work aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind craving—and ultimately help people regain control and move toward healthier lives.
