The Genetics, Epigenetics, and Development Branch (GED) offers research funding focused on the genetic and biological processes involved in addiction and substance use disorders (SUD). This includes studying genetic factors that make individuals more susceptible to addiction, as well as using molecular genetics, epigenetics, cell biology, neural development, and bioinformatics to understand these issues.

The Genetics, Epigenetics, and Development (GED) Branch within DNB supports research on the genetics, epigenetics, and developmental mechanisms that underlie addiction and substance use disorders (SUD). Research areas include genetic studies of addiction vulnerability, molecular genetics, epigen… Show More
