Dear INRCers,

It is with heavy, grieving hearts that we send news of the passing of Dr. Emily Jutkiewicz, Associate Professor and Associate Chair of Education in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Jutkiewicz also held the Pfizer Upjohn Research Professor of Translational Pharmacology Chair.  

Emily has been part of INRC since she was a trainee herself and received the INRC Young Investigator award in 2019, an award emphasizing her great contributions to the opioid field. More recently, Emily served on the Executive Committee prior to organizing a very successful meeting this summer 2024 in Ann Arbor. 

We set up a donation page in her honor. As Emily was a strong advocate for trainees in her lab, her department and INRC, the funds collected will be used to support trainee travel awards in Emily’s name.
