Dr. Deutsch is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at the Stony Brook University. Dr. Deutsch has made numerous contributions to the field of endocannabinoid biology. One of the prominent discoveries of his lab is the role of the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) in hydrolyzing anandamide, a key endogenous neurotransmitter. This discovery has contributed to advancements in understanding the biochemical pathways involved in endocannabinoid signaling, with implications for therapeutic applications in pain, mood disorders, and more. His work has been extensively published in high-impact scientific journals, and his research has been supported by major research organizations.
