Pioneering medical cannabis research
Scientific research isn’t just what we do – it’s at the root of who we are.
We’re laying the foundations for cannabis to take its place in modern medicine.
Through research partnerships with leading institutions, we’re deepening scientific understanding and building a trusted evidence base to support patients, prescribers, and policymakers alike.
With each shared insight and every breakthrough, we’re driving the global acceptance of cannabis. Our ambition is to make sure cannabis-based treatments are backed with the same rigorous science as other pharmaceuticals so that the right patients can benefit.
Our research initiatives
From in-vitro studies to real-world data, our research spans the full spectrum to explore and validate the therapeutic potential and safety of medical cannabis.
Preclinical studies
Exploring the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of cannabinoids, aiming to understand the role of each in pain modulation and inflammation reduction.
Clinical research
Through partnerships with the University of Pennsylvania and Imperial College London, researchers and doctors of the highest calibre are investigating the efficacy of cannabis-based treatments for conditions such as chronic neuropathic pain and cancer-related symptoms.
Real-world evidence
Through the UK Medical Cannabis Registry, we collect and analyse real-world patient data on the safety and effectiveness of medical cannabis across diverse patient populations.
