Research

As a fellow, Dr. Mogali received pilot funding for her study examining microglial inhibitors in opioid abusers (manuscript in preparation for publication) and completed a secondary analysis of data collected to determine demographic factors of patients that may predict completion of a rapid naltrexone detoxification. As an Instructor, Dr. Mogali co-authored a chapter on Treatment of Pain and Opioid Use in the textbook, "Research and Development of Opioid-Related Ligands" and co-authored a review article on combination drug use of opioids, benzodiazepine and alcohol. She received mentorship in opioid research in the human laboratory setting under Dr. Sandra Comer, Ph.D. Dr. Mogali currently serves as the research psychiatrist for the opioid laboratory. Her research interests include medication development and opioid self-administration studies that may influence treatment of opioid use disorders.
