    Before recently accepting a senior scientist position at Eli Lilly & Co., Dr. McKinzie was an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry, where he continues to collaborate on a number of projects.  His research at the I.U. Medical Center has focused on the neuropharmacology of alcohol and drug abuse.  Dr. McKinzie has published and presented preclinical research findings in a number of areas including adolescent alcohol drinking determinants, novel pharmacotherapeutic treatments for alcohol drinking and relapse prevention, correlated behavioral phenotypes, and neural substrates mediating drug reward.
