Denovan‑Wright, Eileen - Dalhousie University

研究领域

Professor Denovan-Wright and her students are exploring the potential of cannabinoids for treatment of Huntington’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Lately, the group has been very interested in unique pharmacology of the endocannabinoids and newly discovered allosteric modulators of cannabinoid receptors and the interplay between these compounds, intracellular signaling and gene expression.
