Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Scott Alsbrook's research examines the intersection of natural products, public health, and emerging environmental concerns. His work investigates the evolving role of kratom (Mitragyna) from a traditional remedy to a substance with public health implications, including its co-occurrence with substance use disorders and serious mental illness. Alsbrook also studies natural products that may offer protection against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, advocating for increased rigor in preclinical studies of dietary supplements. His research extends to environmental health, exploring the impact of climate change and particulate matter on rural communities. Additionally, he has investigated COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Arkansas educators and explored the application of small unmanned aircraft systems in agro-terrestrial surveys for land management.
