UMB Fights the Opioid Epidemic
Last year, opioid overdoses killed more than five Marylanders every day. UMB's is a new multidisciplinary effort to prevent addiction and treat those affected by it. Our breakthroughs (like the School of Pharmacy's , an opioid painkiller that could inhibit addiction) have won a lot of attention. CARES will supplement our pharmaceutical development with critical work in policy, treatment, and training.
