Background
Charles W. Schindler received his Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from American University in 1980. After a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Iowa, he joined the NIDA IRP in 1985 as a Staff Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Steven R. Goldberg. The focus of his early research was on determining the cardiovascular effects of psychomotor stimulants, in particular cocaine, and how those effects might be altered following drug treatment. Throughout his tenure with Dr. Goldberg, he also maintained an interest in the behavioral effects of drugs of abuse, and in particular drug self-administration. He joined the Designer Drug Unit (DDRU) in 2016 as a Staff Scientist. His research is currently focused on the behavioral and physiological effects of designer drugs, in particular the synthetic cathinones.
