Sergi Ferré, MD, PhD

Principal Investigator and Chief, Principal Investigator and Chief at National Institute on Drug Abuse Intramural Research Program

Dr Ferré is a principal investigator at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, IRP, NIH, DHHS. He is also a guest professor from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Faculty of Biology, University of Barcelona, and adjunct associate professor from the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He is principal editor of The Scientific World Journal and regional editor of Recent Patent Reviews on CNS Drug Discovery.

His general research interest is the understanding of the functional and pharmacological roles of neurotransmitter receptor heteromers. Finding the unique biochemical characteristics of receptor heteromers constitutes the main focus of his research, which can then be used to determine their existence in native tissues and their potential use as targets for drug development, particularly in neuropsychiatric disorders and drug addiction.
