Stephen Alexander

Dr Stephen Alexander has been interested in the regulation of mammalian cannabinoid systems since the first identification of an endogenous cannabinoid molecule in 1993. He has principally focused on the enzymes associated with the hydrolysis and transformation of these endocannabinoids, both in terms of establishing high throughput assays for these enzymes and also in quantifying their activities in tissues ex vivo. He is an Associate Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at the University of...See more
