Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Justin Pressley's research investigates the pharmacological effects and potential toxicity of novel synthetic opioids, including furanyl fentanyl and acryl fentanyl. His work in animal models, specifically mice, examines antinociception, the development of physical dependence, and withdrawal symptoms associated with these substances. Pressley also studies the defense mechanisms mice employ when consuming these compounds. His investigations extend to the role of P-glycoprotein efflux transporters in the blood-brain barrier following exposure to diesel exhaust particles, particularly in co-cultured microglia. Additionally, Pressley has contributed to research on the development of inhibitors for PLK1 PBD as potential therapeutics for various cancers.
