Benjamin Land is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington. His research group focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which cannabinoids and opioids mediate pain and reward processes. They are particularly interested in the intersection of these two fields, exploring how cannabinoids can be employed alongside opioids in the treatment of chronic pain while assessing the associated risks of addiction. The lab utilizes a variety of modern techniques including whole animal pharmacology, viral methods, imaging techniques, and biochemical approaches to investigate these complex interactions. Benjamin's work aims to enhance understanding of pain management strategies and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
