Patricia Di Ciano is a Scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. She is a member of the Driving Simulator Lab (DSL) within the Institute for Mental health Policy Research (IMPHR) and CAMH. The DSL is committed to understanding the impact of cannabis and other intoxicating substances on driving. Dr. Di Ciano conducts regulated and observational studies into the effects of cannabis on driving and related measures of cognition and subjective experience as well as blood and oral fluid THC. She is interested in understanding the complex relationship between impairment and levels of blood THC to better inform the deterrence and detection of use of cannabis while driving. She is also interested in the effects of newer types of cannabis; she is conducting studies with edibles and vapes, both of which have seen a sharp increase in use since legalization in 2018-2019. Her more recent work has focused on the study of underrepresented populations. Her work is funded by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Transport Canada, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), CAMH and the University of Toronto.
