Addiction: from Neuroscience to Novel Treatments

We welcomed back Professor David Nutt, President of the European Brain Council and Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, to UCL for our biggest event of year. He shared recent evidence and research as well as his personal views on the future of treating addiction- from alcohol and tobacco to heroin and cocaine. This event was a hot-ticket and a huge success. This lecture, by the controversial and renowned Professor best known for being sacked from the UK's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (for saying ecstasy is safer than horse-riding), was a huge success among members from all backgrounds.
