Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Justin Pressley's research program investigates the pharmacological effects of novel opioid compounds, with a focus on fentanyl analogs. His work examines their impact on antinociception, the development of dependence and withdrawal symptoms, and the behavioral defense of drug consumption in animal models. Pressley also studies the influence of environmental factors, such as diesel exhaust particles, on the blood-brain barrier's P-glycoprotein efflux transporter in the context of neuroinflammation. He has also contributed to research on the development of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors as potential therapeutics for various cancers. Pressley's scholarly output includes four publications with 11 citations, and he holds an h-index of 2. He has collaborated with researchers Brenda M. Gannon, William E. Fantegrossi, Jeffery H. Moran, and Mary E Shepard at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
