The Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) will host a free, virtual two-day symposium on Thursday and Friday, October 17 and 18, 2024 from 8AM-12 Noon Pacific Time (11AM-3PM Eastern Time), Cannabis, Cannabinoids, Cancer, and Longevity.

We will kick off the symposium with keynote addresses from the 2024 CMCR award recipients, Dr. Alexandros Makriyannis (Northeastern University) and Dr. Mark Ware (McGill University). The main scientific session of the 2024 CMCR Symposium will highlight emerging clinical and translational research on the role of cannabis, cannabinoids, and the endocannabinoid system in healthy aging, dementia, and cancer biology. We will also explore cannabis use among older adults and people with cancer and, in a panel with representatives from the National Institutes of Health, future directions in cannabis research. Each session and panel discussion will be moderated to facilitate discussion and answer questions from the audience.

The event is free and open to the public. To register for the event, click here. For up-to-date information, please visit our website or follow us on social media.
