About the Author

Kelly E. Dunn, PhD, MBA, is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Dunn has been working in the field of opioid use disorder since 2005, motivated by witnessing her community be ravaged with nonmedical use of prescription opioids as a teenager. This led to a passion for understanding motivations for opioid use, identifying methods to prevent the onset of opioid use disorder, improving treatments for opioid use disorder, and exploring new methods for managing pain and reducing opioid reliance. She has built a robust portfolio of laboratory and clinical trial research investigating these questions and is an author of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in the area of substance use and opioid use disorder.
