From the CPDA Website: “About Us The Chemistry and Pharmacology of Drug Abuse (CPDA) Conference brings together top medicinal chemists and pharmacologists to present their recent findings. These scientists approach the challenge of avoiding drug addiction and of treating it when it does occur. By investigating alternative molecular receptors and novel pathways of information transfer, they seek non-addictive pain therapies, possibly ones that do not require morphine. codeine or derivatives thereof. 
The problem of substance-abuse disorder (SUD) is enormous and it can only be solved by a multidisciplinary approach. For this reason, speakers will include medicinal chemists, molecular biologists, pharmacologists, and clinical specialists. They hail from universities, biotech companies, and research hospitals in Boston and across the country. As it brings together so man experts on substance abuse, the CPDA Conference is one of exceptional importance when confronting one of the most pressing issues of our time.” ( 2023 © lightchaser photography )
