The livestreamed conference will focus on legal and safety issues related to the cannabis industry

Amid these coronavirus pandemic times, it is important for companies and organizations to look for other ways to bring information to people besides live, mass-gathering events. Therefore, the Global Cannabis Research Summit will be streamed online this coming August 12, 2020, and interested people can access the event directly on the event’s website. This year’s summit will feature keynote speaker Dr. Sue Sisley who will provide an update on legal efforts that are taking place to open more doors to the legal cannabis industry as well as sharing findings from her latest study. Many experts and scientists in the sector are supporting this online activity.

“The Global Cannabis Research Summit is where science meets to advance cannabinoid research. We’re inviting the science community to join us August 12 online for more than five hours of new content from top speakers sharing recent outcomes of cannabinoid research and clinical trials,” said event chair Keith Bisogno. The conference will also have EndoCanna CEO Len May talking about the “Future of Precision Cannabinoid Therapeutics,” where he will give a detailed explanation about genomic testing and analysis. This to determine individuals with different genotype profiles who have different outcomes and experiences even if consuming the same product.

Another scientist sharing his knowledge with the cannabis community is Dr. Nethaji Gallage, CEO of Octarine, who is speaking about “Harnessing Synthetic Biology to Deliver Targeted Cannabinoids.” During this presentation, he will reveal how he has used a biosynthetic platform for cannabinoid and psilocybin derivatives through microbial fermentation that can be used for the production of multiple new derived molecules, which might have improved pharmacokinetic and therapeutic properties.

“We’re excited to make our next event even more interactive for online participants everywhere,” said Ronnye Schreiber, CEO of PlanetConnect and co-producer of the event. “Participants will be able to engage speakers to ask questions and we are adding more Polls and audience involvement.”
