Cannabinoids Research

Advancing Cannabinoid Science from Molecules to Medicine

The Multidisciplinary Center for Cannabinoid Research (MCCR) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem brings together world-leading scientists to explore cannabinoids, endocannabinoids, and medical cannabis across biology, chemistry, medicine, and technology.

Building on landmark discoveries by Prof. Raphael Mechoulam, including the identification of THC, anandamide, and 2-AG ,our center drives cutting-edge research that reveals how the endocannabinoid system regulates human health and disease.

From cancer, pain, inflammation, immunity, and neuroscience to metabolism, nanomedicine, and plant genetics, MCCR unites 30+ laboratories to accelerate breakthroughs, foster global collaborations, and transform cannabinoid research into real-world impact.
