Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kyle R. Urquhart's research focuses on the pharmacological characterization of drugs, particularly opioid analogs and their potential for abuse and dependence. He investigates the in vivo dependence liability of novel fentanyl analogues, contributing to scientific understanding that can inform drug policy. Urquhart also studies the effects of prenatal exposure to substances like norbuprenorphine, examining its impact on fetal opioid dependence and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. His work includes the development and validation of translational animal models, such as a rat model for neonatal abstinence syndrome, to better understand and potentially treat these conditions. Urquhart's research also extends to the effects of environmental factors like ambient temperature and social housing on behavior and physiology following drug administration. He has authored 11 publications with 76 citations and an h-index of 4. Key collaborators include William E. Fantegrossi and Saki Fukuda, both at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
