Curious about how cannabis affects the brain?

Join Dr. Jibran Khokhar for an eye-opening webinar exploring the latest research on cannabis genetics, adolescent exposure, edibles, and withdrawal — with a special focus on vaping and the developing brain.

In this session, Dr. Khokhar will take you inside cutting-edge animal model studies to explore:

  • Genetics & Cannabis Use: The role of the Cadm2 gene in predisposing individuals to cannabis use.
  • Adolescent Exposure: Long-term impacts of vaporized cannabis flower during adolescence, including effects of different chemovars and cannabinoid profiles.
  • Accidental Edible Poisoning: A novel rat model studying short- and long-term outcomes from juvenile edible exposures.
  • Withdrawal Research: New insights into physiological and behavioral symptoms during cannabis withdrawal.

Whether you’re a health professional, researcher, educator, or simply curious, this webinar will deepen your understanding of cannabis neurobiology and its implications for health and policy.

📅 Wednesday, Sept. 10th at 11 AM EST

Dr. Jibran Khokhar

Dr. Khokhar completed his undergraduate training at Queen’s University, and his Ph.D. in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Toronto and CAMH, under the supervision of Dr. Rachel Tyndale. He then completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at Dartmouth College with Dr. Alan Green. Dr. Khokhar held a CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship as well as NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Dr. Khokhar was recently hired as an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Translational Neuropsychopharmacology in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Schulich School of Medicine at Western University. Since starting his independent research group the lab has published 65 papers and received nearly $6 million in funding from federal and industry sources. Dr. Khokhar research revolves around establishing the behavioral and neural correlates of various types of vulnerabilities to substance use, starting from genetic risk to effects on development. He is also very interested in the pharmacokinetics of various routes of drug exposure, and has established tools and methods to study emerging routes of administration such as vaping and edibles.
