Division of Intramural Clinical and Biological Research

The laboratories and researchers housed within NIAAA seek to unravel the biological basis of alcohol use disorders and related problems, and to develop new strategies to prevent and treat these disorders. We maintain a multidisciplinary approach to research, and so our researchers collaborate with each other, as well as with researchers in other NIH Institutes and Centers, and external institutions.

We conduct research on:

• Cellular/molecular issues
• Animal studies in rodents and non-human primates
• Human studies of the genetics and epidemiology of alcoholism and co-morbidities
• Validation of novel molecular targets for alcohol use disorders
