Welcome to the lab of Matthew L. Springer, Ph.D. UCSF Division of Cardiology Vascular biology, cardiac disease, tobacco & cannabis ↓↓↓ SCROLL DOWN ↓↓↓

Would you like to participate in our CANDIDE clinical study (CANnabis: Does It Damage Endothelium)?

We are recruiting healthy volunteers age 18-50 who smoke cannabis, use THC edibles, or are frequently exposed to secondhand cannabis smoke, and non-users to learn how cannabis use or secondhand exposure affects blood vessels and the heart.
