In 1988, Gavril W. Pasternak published the first edition of The Opiate Receptors. Dr. Pasternak is affiliated with the Molecular Pharmacology & Chemistry department at the Sloan-Kettering Institute (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center).
From the reviews of the second edition: "It is intended as a review and reference resource on topics of interest to scientists working in the opioid receptor field. ... would be most appropriate for midlevel graduate students and higher level researchers ... . The book offers a detailed overview and review of 14 different aspects of opioid receptor science ... . an excellent source for a graduate level course on opioid pharmacology, or would serve well as a current reference point on timely issues in this field of research."
