Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mary E Shepard's research investigates the pharmacological effects of novel synthetic opioids, specifically furanyl fentanyl and acryl fentanyl, in animal models. Her work examines their antinociceptive properties, the development of physical dependence, and withdrawal symptoms following oral self-administration in mice. Shepard also studies the defense of drug consumption behaviors in these models. Her research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Brenda M. Gannon, William E. Fantegrossi, Jeffery H. Moran, and Justin Pressley, with whom she has co-authored publications. Shepard's work also touches on acute pain management in pediatric patients, as indicated by a co-authored publication.
