Psychoactive Drugs and Infectious Diseases
A. J. S. Rayl | Apr 16, 2000 | 10+ min read
For nearly a century, it's been known that drugs of abuse alter the immune system. Since the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, however, an explosion of data has given rise to a rapidly evolving area of research. Investigators around the world have shown that such psychoactive drugs as heroin, morphine, cocaine, and marijuana affect both the neurophysiologic and immunologic systems. In recent years, researchers have produced strong experimental evidence that these drugs of a
Mounting Threat Of Infectious Diseases Contributes To Rising Need For Immunology Research Specialists
Marcia Clemmitt | Mar 21, 1993 | 10 min read
In today's otherwise sluggish biomedical job market, career prospects for these scientists are improving in academia as well as industry Immunology research is riding the crest of a wave, with significant laboratory results proliferating, observers of the field say. "Immunology remains one area in biomedicine that has relatively good prospectives for employment, and one that is likely to continue doing somewhat better than most others," says Robert Rich, a professor of microbiology, immuno
