Yingying Chen received Rutgers Brain Health Institute Pilot Grant

ECE faculty Yingying Chen is a part of the team receiving the Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI) Pilot Grant in Neuroscience for Center and Program Project Grants. The proposal is titled as An Integrated Approach to Build Precision Medicine for Substance Use Disorders. The pilot project aims to establish the foundation for an NIH NIDA Center of Excellence focused on building precision medicine approaches for substance use disorders (SUDs). The project brings together expertise in neuroscience, genetics, neuroimaging, electrical engineering, computational psychiatry, digital phenotyping, and clinical research to create an integrated approach to developing more targeted treatments and interventions for substance use disorders, which continue to be among the most costly health challenges our society faces. This project tightens the collaborations between SoE and RBHS. The pilot grant is $125,000 for a one-year period.
