Gregory C. Sartor received his bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Psychology from the University of Mississippi and his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the Medical University of South Carolina. He completed his postdoctoral training in neuroepigenetics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine with support from a NIDA K99 award.  In 2018, he became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Connecticut (UConn) and was promoted to Associate Professor (with tenure) in 2025. At UConn, the Sartor lab uses a diverse array of techniques to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying substance use disorders. Ultimately, the lab's goal is to develop new and effective treatments that reduce drug use, relapse, withdrawal, and/or overdose-related deaths.
