Bio sketch

Dr. Rose is Director of the Duke Center for Nicotine and Smoking Cessation Research (Duke CNSCR) and Medical Research Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Rose is considered one of the leading authorities on the treatment of nicotine addiction. In the early 1980's, Dr. Rose led the initial studies of transdermal nicotine administration, which helped pave the way for the development of commercial nicotine skin patches as a smoking cessation treatment. Since then, his research program has continued to develop novel smoking cessation treatments and to strive toward a deeper understanding of tobacco dependence. His research is currently applying brain imaging methodologies, including positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to identify brain substrates underlying craving and addiction. In addition, Dr. Rose's team has worked to develop smoking cessation treatments involving the use of nicotinic antagonists and various substitution strategies to alleviate craving for cigarettes.
