Dr. Jodi Gilman, Identification of THC Impairment Using Functional Brain Imaging

July 2023

Dr. Jodi Gilman is an Associate Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the Director of Neuroscience at the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Addiction Medicine. She received her PhD in Neuroscience from Brown University. Dr. Gilman’s research uses multi-modal imaging, behavioral and cognitive testing to understand the biological, psychological, and clinical aspects of addiction. Specifically, she studies the effects of cannabis use on addiction and other health outcomes. Her goal is to conduct research that can inform decision-making among the public, patients, and clinicians regarding evidence-based decisions to use or not use cannabis for recreational or medical purposes. Her work has been featured in media outlets throughout the world, including Reuters, NPR’s Science Friday, and the BBC.

Dr. Gilman has received numerous awards, including the Fellows Award for Research Excellence from the National Institutes of Health.
