He has authored or co-authored more than 500 journal articles, book chapters, and books, is a member of the editorial board of five peer-review journals, and is the Editor of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. His work currently focuses on the molecular genetics of substance dependence and the personalized treatment of alcohol, opioid, and nicotine use disorders using a pharmacogenetic approach.

Henry Kranzler, MD ~ is a member of the Dicerna scientific advisory board and a member of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology's Alcohol Clinical Trials Initiative, which during the past three years was supported by Alkermes, Amygdala Neurosciences, Arbor Pharmaceuticals, Dicerna, Ethypharm, Indivior, Lundbeck, Mitsybishi and Otsuka. Dr. Kranzler is also named as an inventor on PCT patent application #15/878.640 entitled: "Genotype-guided dosing of opioid agonists" filed January 24, 2018.

Learning Outcome(s)
At the conclusion of this learning collaborative, (at least 75% of) participants will be able to identify at least three evidence-based strategies that are designed to enhance the clinical team-based care of patients with substance or opioid use disorders treatment.
