Norbert Kaminski is the director of the MSU Institute for Integrative Toxicology and a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. 

Kaminski has studied the effects of marijuana on the immune system since 1990. His lab was the first to identify the proteins that can bind marijuana compounds on the surface of immune cells. Up until then, it was unclear how these compounds, also known as cannabinoids, affected the immune system. His latest research looked at the effects THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, a chemical found in marijuana, had on mental decline in HIV patients.

Kaminski is a member of the Society of Toxicology and Immunotoxicology Specialty Section, the American Association of Immunologists and the International Cannabinoid Research Society.
