Studying Drug Effects: Clinical Pharmacology Insights
1:15 PM - 2:00 PM Tue
In the Netherlands, I grew up and earned a M.Sc. in Neuroscience from the University of Amsterdam. During my training at the Leiden University Medical Center, I obtained a Clinical Pharmacology degree and a Ph.D. in Clinical Pharmacology of Cannabinoids. While doing my Ph.D. studies, I worked at the Centre for Human Drug Research in Leiden, as a Clinical Scientist on a variety of clinical studies. I have been studying cannabinoids in humans since 2006 and I (co-)authored various peer-reviewed cannabinoid publications including primary literature and book chapters. My work received five honors and awards, including the BJCP Prize, handed out by the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. Noticing an urgent need for objective cannabis information and education in the United States, in 2016, I founded Cannify. Cannify helps patients and clinicians with product and science matching via an online tool, and provides general and customized education. In 2018, Dr. Michael Tagen, Clinical Pharmacologist, and I joined our advisory experiences as partners with Verdient Science
