Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lauren Russell's research focuses on the pharmacological effects and potential toxicity of synthetic cathinones and cannabinoids, specifically investigating their interactions with cannabinoid receptors. Her work includes analyzing the pharmacodynamic properties of synthetic cannabinoid metabolites, such as 5F-MDMB-PINACA, at CB1 receptors. Russell also studies factors influencing health and behavior in specific populations, including cannabis use in individuals over 65 and adapting social risk screening programs for veterans. Her research extends to animal models, examining the impact of laboratory housing conditions on core temperature and locomotor activity in mice. Russell has published 23 works, with an h-index of 5 and 88 citations, and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Alison Oliveto and William E. Fantegrossi.
