Preclinical Evaluations of Contextual and Contingency Control over Relapse through Crowdsourcing
Christopher Podlesnik, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Florida
Dr. Podlesnik’s research focuses on the role of fundamental conditioning processes in choice and the relapse of operant behavior, with interests in translating this research to understand and develop behavioral treatments for challenging behavior. Dr. Podlesnik served as Associate Editor for the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior and Behavioral Processes, past President of the Society for the Quantitative Analyses of Behavior, and as a board member for the Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior.

Testing Theories and Technology Together
Early Career Speaker, Neo Gebru, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Scholar, Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (CAAS), Brown University
Dr. Gebru is an NIH MOSAIC (Maximizing Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers Awards) Scholar working to develop and test digital interventions aimed at health behavior change. His research explores behavioral mechanisms involved in human substance use and sexual behaviors, while also applying behavioral economic concepts and technology-based approaches to better understand, and intervene upon, substance use and related negative consequences, particularly among young adults. Dr. Gebru received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida and is currently conducting post-doctoral research at Brown University with a concentration in Substance Use and HIV Research. His research has been supported by various national and international organizations, including the National Institutes of Health and the American Psychological Association.

Alternatives to Animal Testing – The Now, the New and the Next
Thomas Hartung, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing
Doerenkamp-Zbinden Chair Professor, Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Hartung steers the revolution in toxicology to move away from 50+ year-old animal tests to organoid cultures and the use of artificial intelligence. He served as head of the European Center for the Validation of Alternative Methods of the European Commission (2002-2008) and is involved in implementing the 2007 National Research Council vision document “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A vision and a strategy”. He has furthered the translation of concepts of evidence-based medicine to toxicology, which aims for systematic assessment of the quality of all tools for regulatory toxicology and the development of new approaches based on annotated pathways of toxicity (the Human Toxome).
