Dr. Levounis’ keynote, “Neurobiology of Addiction in 2023,” will be held from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. Friday, November 3.

MALVERN, Pa. (PRWEB)
May 24, 2023

In the ever-changing field of addiction treatment, HMP Global’s 2023 East Coast Symposium will provide the latest strategies and emerging trends, including a keynote presentation on the neurobiological attributes of addiction, presented by Petros Levounis, MD, MA, the new President of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

Taking place November 3-5 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, the meeting is an opportunity for mental health professionals to network and collaborate with like-minded peers, learn effective strategies for addiction treatment and behavioral health, and address significant challenges impacting patients.

In addition to his role as President of the APA, Dr. Levounis serves as professor and chair of the Department of Psychiatry and associate dean for professional development at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. He is also the chief of service at University Hospital in Newark, New Jersey, and director of the Northern New Jersey Medication Assisted Treatment Center of Excellence.

Dr. Levounis’ keynote, “Neurobiology of Addiction in 2023,” will be held from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. Friday, November 3. Describing addiction as “the hijacking of the pleasure-reward pathways of the brain and a weakening of its executive function,” Levounis’ presentation will cover how this model has been expanded to include newer concepts such as motivational circuitry and anti-reward pathways. These 21st century discoveries inform clinical innovations that are now changing the landscape of the pharmacological and psychosocial treatments of substance use disorders and the behavioral addictions.

Educational program

The educational program at East Coast Symposium covers the most important topics facing behavioral health, addiction, and treatment center professionals, including trauma, pain management, harm reduction, family, ethics, and cannabis. Dr. Levounis joins a lineup of leading experts in the addiction treatment field, including:

• 
      Antonello Bonci, MD, Founder, President, and Chief Scientific Officer of GIA Healthcare
•     Judy T. Crane, MA, LMHC, CAP, ICADC, CSAT, CEO and Founder of The Guest House Ocala
•     Tanya L. Gouveia, MS, MPA, LCDP-II, LADC-I, adjunct professor, Bristol Community College and licensed alcohol and drug counselor, Addiction Recovery Counseling, LLC
•     James Montgomery, MD, Medical Director, APN – Keller
•     Robert Schwarz, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist Executive Director, The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology
•     Andrew Tatarsky, PhD, Founder and Director, Center for Optimal Living
•     Jason L. Thompson, BSc, qEEG-T, President, +Plus by APN

“As our nation continues to struggle with overdoses exceeding 100,000 annually, the front-line work that behavioral health and addiction professionals are doing is critical,” said Doug Edwards, Senior Vice President, HMP Education, a subsidiary of HMP Global. “East Coast Symposium is a valuable opportunity to learn the latest updates in the field, best practices for care, and improving outcomes and quality of life for patients.”

The East Coast Symposium features more than 35 national expert speakers presenting a robust, three-day educational program, and opportunities to earn more than 16 CME/CE credits. It is designed and accredited for professionals in the field of addiction and behavioral health, including psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, therapists, social workers, interventionists, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, primary care physicians, executives, marketers, and others committed to the cause of addiction treatment.

Previously known as NCAD East, the East Coast Symposium is one of four premier educational events focused on providing timely education for addiction treatment and behavioral health professionals. It is produced by HMP Global as part of the Psychiatry & Behavioral Health Learning Network.

TORONTO, Ontario (PRWEB)
May 24, 2023

When it comes to transforming and analyzing clinical trial data, there’s a huge number of manual steps and handoffs between siloed groups making it incredibly easy to lose information through the life cycle. A few of the most common problems are found within the biometrics area which can be plagued by disjointed systems, high IT costs, extended installation timelines, and validation burdens, among other variables. These obstacles can eat away at your budget, time, and resources. Or what if you do something wrong and need to start over? There are many solutions available, but how do you know which is the best for your project?

Join us on Monday, June 12th at 2pm EDT as experts from Instem, Chris Decker and John Leveille dive into how users can overcome common obstacles in the biometric area using a statistical computing environment (SCE) which provides a centralized compliance, analysis, and submission solution enabled by the cloud for any size pharmaceutical company and CROs. They’ll explain and demonstrate how using a cloud-based statistical computing environment (SCE) that comes preloaded and validated with tools, applications, and licenses for your biometric team can increase efficiency by allowing users to share data, programs, and analysis results.

Register today to learn:

(1)    An overview of a cloud-based SCE’s value and key capabilities

(2)    A demonstration of how programmers and statisticians can leverage different tools to improve their processes

Pioneers in Chemical Safety Assessment

“The lack of a regulatory human cell mutagenicity assay is a significant data gap in genetic toxicology risk assessment.”

DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB)
May 24, 2023

ScitoVation is the recipient of the National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II award of $1.8 Million that is granted over two years in $900,000 increments. The SBIR program is a highly competitive program that encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) with the potential for commercialization; enabling small businesses to explore their technological potential and provide the incentive to profit from its commercialization.

Leslie Recio, PhD, ScitoVation’s Chief Scientific Officer, explains the focus of this SBIR Phase II application: “We will develop a New Approach Methodology (NAM) combining human cells and game changing technology developed by TwinStrand Biosciences referred to as error-corrected next generation sequencing (EcNGS) as in vitro alternatives to current rodent cell mutagenicity assessments and as an in vitro alternative to rodent mutation assays. The lack of a regulatory human cell mutagenicity assay is a significant data gap in genetic toxicology risk assessment.”

ScitoVation plans to replace fifty-year-old clonal selection techniques to assess mutation in mammalian cells by using error-corrected next generation sequencing (EcNGS) to quantify mutations in human TK6 cell and in proliferation induced HepaRG™ cells in two specific aims. Completion of this Phase II SBIR will produce two human cell-based mutation assays that can be used as a follow up to bacterial mutation assays and as a NAM to reduce reliance on current in vivo gene mutation assays in rodents. These assays will be a cornerstone of ScitoVation’s NAM based vision for next generation genotoxicity assessment using human relevant cell-based models and dosimetry for human safety and risk assessments.

Jean Orelien, DrPH, MStat, CEO ScitoVation, is pleased to receive the award. “As a small company, this award supports our scientists performing cutting edge research that fills a data gap and provides better outcomes for the risk assessment community by relying less on animals.”

The funding officially starts May 23, 2023.
