Innovations in Opioid Overdose Prevention: From Experimental Models to Wearable Tech
Wednesday, October 29, 2025
12:00 PM-1:00 PM
Join the Dornsife Department of Community Health
and Prevention for a talk with Dr. Basak Tas, Research Fellow at the National
Addiction Centre, King’s College London, who will share her innovative research
on opioid overdose prevention and treatment.
Her work spans experimental studies of heroin
overdose, evaluation of wearable biosensors, and investigations into the acceptability
of new technologies among people who use opioids.
She leads and collaborates on national and
international projects—including the OD-Test study at King’s College London,
the RESCU-2 study of overdose detection in UK hostels, and the OD-SEEN project
in a supervised injecting facility in Sydney, Australia—advancing both the
science and implementation of novel interventions to save lives and reduce
harm.
