Why Did You Submit Your Abstract to the ASCPT 2023 Annual Meeting?
ASCPT is the largest academic and scientific professional organization to focus on clinical pharmacology and translational research, and I believe that translational research is a key to having better diagnostic measures and drug treatments for patients suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders, such as alcohol use disorder (AUD) which I studied. Therefore, the ASCPT meeting seemed ideal for my work.
