"The opportunities to develop technologies to treat substance use disorder are infinite. Historically, the approach has been centered on neurobiology, focusing predominantly on the brain," says says Brown University Professor Carolina Haass-Koffler. "However, substance use disorder is a complex disorder and lacks measurable biomarkers, which complicates its diagnosis and management. Given the brain's connections with other bodily systems, targeting interventions beyond the central nervous system offers a promising avenue for more effective treatment." Learn more about what Haass-Koffler and Hanna Adeyema think about the future of innovation in substance use disorder. https://lnkd.in/e8rg7b3H #innovation #healthcare #healthtech #mit #mitbootcamps #SUDVentures

How does the SUD program address substance use disorder differently? Hanna Adeyema, director of MIT Bootcamps, says, "Traditionally, innovation programs in the substance use disorder space focus on entrepreneurship and business courses for researchers and inventors. These courses focus on knowledge, rather than skills and practical application, and omit an important piece of building a business — it takes an entire ecosystem to build a successful startup, particularly in the health care space."

“I really appreciate the fact that an established institution like Massachusetts Institute of Technology was offering programs online. This is a model that allows me to access MITx and grow myself as part of a community that shares similar interests and seeks further collaborations, even locally where I live.” Charalampos Sampalis found a wealth of knowledge to advance his career through MIT Open Learning resources like MITx Courses and MIT Bootcamps. “I work full time and it’s not easy at this period of my life to leave everything behind and move to another continent for education," he says. "I strongly believe that education shouldn’t be under boundaries, or strictly belong to specific periods in our lives." 💻 Read Sampalis' story: https://bit.ly/3zhB2XE #OnlineLearning #OnlineEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment #Education #Learning #HigherEducation #ProductManagement #ComputerScience #Innovation #ProfessionalDevelopment
