 I'm looking at finding new drug treatments to treat addictive disorders such as cocaine addicts and methamphetamine addicts and help them stop taking these drugs because they are a big problem particularly in New Zealand. So when you take drugs of abuse, they release a chemical called dopamine and that's the euphoric experience that you get and our therapies are trying to counteract the release of dopamine and reduce the amount and reduce the addictiveness of these drugs. So we've got some drugs that have anti-addiction effects and are very good but unfortunately they've had some nasty side effects so we're working in collaboration with a medicinal chemist and he's making new compounds and we're testing them to make sure that they have anti-addiction effects but with less side effects. Aversion and dysphoria and possibly depression and sedation. So we have found some chemicals that don't have those side effects so we're finding out what makes those chemicals special and how they work. And another thing we're doing is looking at prescribed drugs and how they are abused and we think our compound, if it's added to these prescribed drugs, can reduce the addictiveness and stop people becoming addicted to drugs of abuse. Prescription opiates are there to treat pain so they still have the anti-pane effects by adding our compound to it it would just not be abused as much so people won't find it as rewarding and euphoric when they take the drug. It will still have the pain effects but without the addictiveness that it has.
