The Lambert Initiative provides national and international leadership both in the science of medicinal cannabis and in the discovery and development of cannabis-based medicines.
Our activities extend from plant science and cannabinoid production, through cellular and preclinical pharmacology, to medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, including human laboratory studies and clinical trials. Other areas of focus include:
Education and Advocacy
We raise awareness of the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids by sharing evidence and insights with clinicians, consumers, health professionals, and policymakers.
Policy and Regulation
We contribute to public debate and help shape evidence-based regulatory frameworks and health policies for cannabinoid medicines.
Expanding Treatment Options
We conduct research to unlock the full potential of cannabinoid medicines for treating a wide range of health conditions, especially where there is currently an unmet need for novel treatment.
These conditions include, but are not limited to:
