His studies have focused on the cellular and anatomical bases of addiction in order to pave the way for a new class of drugs to target addiction and obesity through a better understanding of CART peptides. These specific peptides are neurotransmitters that have been implicated in the regulation of feeding, body weight, drug reward and stress. With his more than 900 scientific publications, Dr. Kuhar is the most cited researcher at Emory. He has trained more than 60 students, research fellows and visitors, and he is the author of The Addicted Brain, Why we abuse drugs, alcohol, and nicotine (2012 Pearson Education/FT Press) and The Art and Ethics of Being a Good Colleague (2013 CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform).

Akers, Ron interview conducted by Campbell/Spillane
No full textRonald Akers, PhD, is Emeritus Professor, Criminology and Law, at the University of Florida and Professor, Criminology and Sociology at the University of South Florida. Dr. Akers earned his PhD in Sociology from the University of Kentucky. Virtually every criminology graduate student in the United States and Europe will read Dr. Ronald Akers’ text, Deviant Behavior: A Social Learning Approach. Every criminology textbook discusses his theoretical and empirical work on social learning theory. His book Drugs, Alcohol and Society has become the mainstay for social science understanding of the interplay between alcohol and drug usage and broader societal issues, and his Criminological Theories: Introduction and Evaluation represents the most complete overview of major criminological theories available today. Widely recognized as one of the top criminologists in the world today, Akers is also a dedicated teacher on both the undergraduate and graduate levels and a consummate scholar dedicated to original research and development of intellectual content that is at the leading edge of his field. Over the past three decades, he has proposed, developed, revised and tested his social learning theory of crime and deviance in several different research settings. Social learning has become one of the principal explanations of criminal and deviant behavior in the literature, and in recent years has been the first or second most frequently tested theory by criminological researchers and scholars. The major recent product of his work on the theory is the 1998 publication of Social Learning and Social Structure, which reviews the development of social learning theory, critiques of it, and its empirical validity, and also offers a new integrated theoretical model of social structure and social process in crime and deviance. This 420-page treatise has been described as “a capstone book” for his career.

Finnegan, Loretta interview conducted by Campbell/Spillane
No full textLoretta Finnegan, M.D., is a champion of medication-assisted treatment with methadone, developing her scoring system for newborns more than 40 years ago. The Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System (FNASS) assigns a numerical score to 21 clinical signs, and babies are treated accordingly. Developing the test was an important step in making sure that these babies were treated with morphine, if necessary, to manage the symptoms of withdrawal. The work of Dr. Finnegan goes far beyond the Finnegan score. When Dr. Finnegan first started an opioid treatment program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, 44 years ago, she opened a landmark program for pregnant women addicted to opioids. Since then, the program, called Maternal Addiction Treatment Education and Research (MATER), has included intensive outpatient treatment as well as residential treatment. Dr. Finnegan retired as Director of MATER.
