Dr. Dedi Meiri Israel
Dr. Dedi Meiri heads the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Cannabinoid Research in the Technion Faculty of Biology. Dr. Meiri’s lab, the largest of its kind in academia with 44 researchers, investigates the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, the naturally-occurring chemicals found in the cannabis plant. Researchers work on a variety of projects in the lab with its main focus on how cannabinoids affect various types of cancer, epilepsy, and diabetes. Dr. Meiri aims to understand the cannabis plant thoroughly enough so that a doctor can prescribe the right treatment at the right dosage for a particular patient. To that end, he collaborates with cannabis growers, clinicians, major manufacturers, and distributors of medical cannabis to identify almost every strain of marijuana grown in Israel, matching them to the diseases they affect. He has launched the Database Project, which exhaustively profiles compounds given to Israel’s 60,000 medical marijuana patients. Dr. Meiri also helps Israel’s Ministry of Health advance its understanding of cannabis usage.
