Research interests I
am currently interested in studying dependence from cannbinoids and
opioids. So far I have investigated the influence of MAGL and FAAH
inhibition on both cannabinoid and opioid withdrawal, as well as measuring the
potential therapeutic and addictive qualities of substances that modulate
endocannabinoid tone. Publications Divya
