The Cannabis Bioproducts Toolbox

Cannabis sativa (hemp or marijuana) produces a remarkable range of bioproducts that serve rapidly expanding markets for pharmaceuticals, nutritional products, and industrial fibre. With partners Supra THC Services (SUPRA) and Valens AgriTech Limited (VAL) (both wholly owned subsidiaries of Valens GroWorks), we will identify genes responsible for producing healthful oils and proteins in hemp seeds, new methods for identifying the chemicals in medical marijuana, and innovative, non-transgenic techniques for making improved varieties of hemp and marijuana.
