TTURC Scientific Accomplishments

UCI TTURC Products & Outcomes

Our TTURC is centered at U.C. Irvine, with investigators from 16 departments across 8 schools actively participating in various research projects.  We enjoy a long and distinguished record in neuroscience research. A common theme has been the integration of approaches across traditional disciplines, departments, and levels of analysis.

UCI TTURC Scientific Presentations

Several of our researchers have presented their studies at various national and international scientific conferences.  In 2004 and 2005, UCI TTURC researchers will present their findings at youth summits, tobacco control conferences, and at other appropriate venues. 

If you would like to have one of our researchers share their findings on how adolescents become vulnerable to tobacco and why teens are most vulnerable to tobacco addiction, please submit your requests to Louri Groves at  lgroves@uci.edu or (949) 824-9307.

TTURC Network Cross Center Collaborations

Cross center collaborations have been developed to improve the infrastructure and leverage limited resources for tobacco research. 

TTURC Research Publications

Currently it the fifth year, investigators from the seven TTURC Centers are engaged in a wide range of studies, including treatment advances, youth smoking, risk across the lifespan, animal models of smoking, co-morbidities with tobacco use, role of genetics, cultural factors, and policies and practices related to tobacco and smoking.

National Cancer Institute TTURC Scientific Accomplishments

"The Centers (TTURCS) are creating innovative research techniques and technologies that are providing new perspectives on tobacco use and addiction, and are pioneering interventions to decrease tobacco use."
