The nation has been in the grip of a national crisis involving opioid addiction. One of the major manufacturers of opioids was Purdue Pharma—the makers of Oxycotin.
Thanks to the efforts by Dr. Jason Beaman and team Oklahoma

opioid maker Purdue Pharma earlier this year. OSUs quest to
become a major hub for addiction research just got more serious as

patient samples and other data.
Listen as Dr. Beaman discusses this and some initiatives they are looking into.
