Addiction Science
Our addiction science effort focuses on finding new non-opioid, non-addictive drugs for pain management and preventing opioid addiction altogether.
Therefore, we fund organizations and scientists with acute and chronic non-opioid, non-addictive pain management and related solutions.
Below is an illustration of our medical pipeline.
