Dr. Greenblatt, a long-time pharmacology researcher, recently published an editorial on meldonium, a banned performance-enhancing drug that is believed to increase the stamina of athletes. Dr. Greenblatt notes that performance-enhancing effects of the drug, which several high profile athletes have tested positive for this year, have not been demonstrated in humans. The full editorial can be found here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpdd.264/epdf. Contact: Siobhan Gallager, [email protected], (617) 636-6586.
