Abstract:
After i finished technical school for aeronautics and civilian service, i was looking for a field closer to medicine. I did a BSc in Biomedical Engineering - Cell and Tissue Engineering followed by a master study in Molecular Biology - Neuroscience. During internships at the IMP, i obtained experience in different research areas. In the meantime i met interest into Cannabis and Cannabis constituents and co-founded cannhelp, an austrian company with the focus on extraction of Cannabidiol from hemp. At the CBR and AKH i investigate the effects of Cannabidiol, THC and other phytocannabinoids on GABAA receptors.
Techniques:
