Accelerated Translational Opioid Research Cluster

The Accelerated Translational Opioid Research Cluster (ATORC) aims to mobilize clinicians and foundational scientists to develop innovative pharmaceutical and diagnostic solutions to frontline challenges in the opioid epidemic. The ultimate goals of this work centre around developing broadly accessible tools and technologies that will impact the opioid crisis. ATORC research projects are motivated by addressing the needs of frontline addiction and pain management clinicians and are collaboratively executed by leading UBC Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences research groups.
