Jed Eugene Rose is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University. His research primarily focuses on the brain imaging effects of nicotine and cigarette smoking, particularly through the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to analyze cerebral blood flow in response to nicotine's addictive properties. He aims to identify the brain substrates mediating nicotine’s effects and has uncovered significant alterations in blood flow patterns in key brain regions. Additionally, he studies the sensory aspects of smoking and their impact on cravings and smoke intake regulation. His clinical research investigates the combined use of nicotine patches with nicotinic antagonists to enhance smoking cessation success rates. Rose has contributed to numerous NIH-funded studies evaluating e-cigarettes and treatment methods for nicotine dependence. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego, and has played a critical role in advancing our understanding of nicotine addiction and cessation strategies through rigorous clinical trials.
