In January 2024, we unveiled an upgraded website dedicated to facilitating communication and information sharing for the Center for Addiction Sciences and Therapeutics (CAST). Formerly known as The Center for Addiction Research (CAR), which was established
in 2004 as a key institutional center promoting discovery and translational research in addictive processes, CAST underwent a rebranding in 2023.
Created as a coordinating force for research in the etiology and pathophysiology of addiction, CAR's success prompted a name change to the Center for Addiction Sciences and Therapeutics (CAST) in spring 2023. This rebranding highlights our
commitment to treating addiction as a disease, showcasing breakthrough scientific approaches in overcoming neuropsychiatric disorders, and emphasizing that our discoveries are paving the way for innovative therapeutics. Ultimately, our mission is
to provide hope, save lives, and enhance productivity through impactful scientific advancements. Explore the new CAST website to stay informed and engaged with our transformative work.
