Notre Dame joins the fight against fentanyl
Chemistry professor Marya Lieberman decided to let the local community’s needs drive her scientific process. That's how she found herself out of the lab and on the front lines of the opioid epidemic.At the University of Notre Dame, Lieberman and her team are working to develop a quick, low-cost test for fentanyl and other deadly drugs. While it won't end the opioid epidemic, it could have an immediate impact, preventing overdoses and giving people second chances they otherwise would not have.Support is always available if you or someone in your life is struggling with substance use.
