Seminars
and Events
 The NARC offers bimonthly seminars in
collaboration with the other two addiction research centers that focus
on basic and clinical research in addiction. The speakers are
nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the field of
addiction. Prior to each seminar there is a journal club meeting that
discusses selected works of the speaker. In addition, there are updates
for the lay public on the biology and clinical treatment of addiction.
In addition to this web page, there are other websites maintained in
part by the NARC to provide the most up to date information on
addiction, clinical trials and various help lines (buttons). Finally,
as part of brain awareness week NARC faculty partake in special
teaching sessions in primary schools in the Charleston area.
