Posters - NCDEU: An Annual Meeting Sponsored by ASCP

Welcome to the 52nd Meeting of NCDEU – the New NCDEU
On behalf of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology
we are pleased to welcome you to this year’s NCDEU meeting. The
ASCP is proud to sponsor the meeting, now in its 52nd year, which
has played such a pivotal role in the development of modern-day
psychopharmacology. When the ECDEU meeting was first held over
a half century ago, psychopharmacology and indeed modern-day
psychiatry was in its infancy. Yet there was enormous excitement
surrounding the introduction of new medications that appeared to
have a profound effect on major psychiatric illnesses. The challenges
and opportunities today, 52 years later, confronting this field have
never been greater and we are confident that the new iteration of
NCDEU with increased partnership with all relevant federal agencies
and the ongoing participation of researchers from academia, the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, as well as many
other professionals engaged in various aspects of CNS research,
will continue to stimulate and facilitate further progress. We are very
appreciative to the members of the NCDEU Steering and Program
Committees for their role in the success of the meeting.
