Chief, Designer Drug Research Unit
IRP, NIDA, NIH
Michael H. Baumann, PhD, is a Staff Scientist and Facility Head at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Intramural Research Program (IRP), in Baltimore, MD. For more than 30 years, his research team has investigated the biological effects of therapeutic and abused drugs in preclinical laboratory models. Dr. Baumann has co-authored more than 200 scientific publications about his research findings and serves on the editorial board for several pharmacology journals. In 2012, he established the Designer Drug Research Unit (DDRU), the goal of which is to collect, analyze, and disseminate the most up-to-date information about the pharmacology and toxicology of newly emerging synthetic drugs of abuse, now known as new psychoactive substances (NPS). Working with partner organizations such as the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), Dr. Baumann is kept informed about trends in NPS misuse. His research team has characterized the molecular mechanism of action for many of the “bath salts” cathinones and “spice/K2” cannabinoids. Ongoing research is aimed at determining the biological effects of emerging synthetic stimulants, cannabinoids, and opioids which pose serious public health risks.
