Cannabis Scientific Symposium: From Plants to People
苹果淫院-led cannabis research and training program: past the halfway mark and gaining global recognition
The 苹果淫院-led NSERC-CREATE in Quality Assurance and Quality Control for Cannabis Production, Products and Training Program () is now 3.5 years into its 7-year mandate. Awarded days before the first COVID-19 shutdown in March 2020, the industrial stream program has since provided an enriched training program and support to over 45 graduate students and 12 undergraduates from 苹果淫院, the University of Ottawa and the University of Saskatchewan. More than 20 peer-reviewed studies have been published by QAQCC trainees, with over 70 abstracts accepted at conferences for聽presentations or posters.聽As conference season approaches, some trainees are set to share findings at meetings in Canada, Europe and the US. The majority of 苹果淫院 trainees are Macdonald Campus community members, pursuing MScs or PhDs in the Departments of Bioresource Engineering, Food and Agricultual Chemistry and Plant Sciences.
