Therese A. Kosten, Ph.D. is a professor of psychology at the University of Houston as well as: the Director of Developmental, Cognitive, & Behavioral Neuroscience; Director of Michael C. Gibson Addiction Research Program; Principal Investigator of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. Dr. Kosten is doing amazing research on creating a vaccine for people who suffer from opioid addiction. They are creating a vaccine against fentanyl by using the body’s immune system to develop antibodies against fentanyl. This allows the body to fend off future use of the drug sequestering it in the blood so that it doesn’t reach the brain where is has all of its physiological and psychological effects. Many people who turned to hard illegal drug use consumed substances that do what cannabis would never do, often need help. This breakthrough research may offer a unique approach and unprecedented relief.
