Dasgupta, an epidemiologist and harm reduction advocate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was recognized for his work combining science and community engagement to reduce drug-related deaths and harms. “Our mission is science in service,” Dasgupta told the university. “We want people to have access to the best knowledge and tools, so they can make better decisions about what they put in their bodies.”
