[ACMT] The Changing Landscape of American Drugs - Donovan Lecture

Donovan Lecture at the American College of Medical Toxicology <strong>Dr. Dasgupta, winner of the MacArthur Fellowship will present his laboratory findings on the synthetic soup that constitutes the US drug supply. He will share insights into emerging trends, fentanyl replacements, and regional variations. He will also discuss how biased measures of fentanyl purity could lead to spurious statistical findings and position the current decline in overdose deaths in a national and historical context. This fast-paced talk will be heavy on data and stories, with analogies to help the audience understand the bigger picture of the constantly changing drug supply.</strong>

Abstract

Donovan Lecture at the American College of Medical Toxicology <strong>Dr. Dasgupta, winner of the MacArthur Fellowship will present his laboratory findings on the synthetic soup that constitutes the US drug supply. He will share insights into emerging trends, fentanyl replacements, and regional variations. He will also discuss how biased measures of fentanyl purity could lead to spurious statistical findings and position the current decline in overdose deaths in a national and historical context. This fast-paced talk will be heavy on data and stories, with analogies to help the audience understand the bigger picture of the constantly changing drug supply.</strong>
