BIOGRAPHY
Carlton Erickson, Ph.D., is the Pfizer Centennial Professor of Pharmacology and director of the Addiction Science Research and Education Center in the College of Pharmacy. He is an active researcher and science educator and believes that new research on addictions can be successfully transmitted to non-scientists who need such information. In addition to his university teaching and research, he is a frequent speaker nationally. His research focuses on statistical evaluation of lay-language educational presentations by scientists to professional and public audiences. He is an Associate Editor for the journal "Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research." He is co-author of a Hazelden booklet called "Your Brain on Drugs," and another new book called "Drugs, The Brain & Behavior," recently published by Haworth Medical Press. He is the author of over 150 scientific publications, and is generally considered to be an expert on the relationship between the neurobiology of addiction and the recovering community.
