Research Focus
Dr. Bradley S. Moore's lab at UC San Diego focuses on two major areas: understanding the health risks and benefits associated with seafood consumption through marine contaminants, and developing therapeutic applications for minor cannabinoids found in cannabis. The lab combines expertise from various fields to study both ocean health and innovative cannabinoid therapeutic potential, aiming to improve public health and environmental understanding.
