Read an interview from Pharmaceutical Technology Europe exploring how the European bio/pharma industry’s high regulatory standards and GMP requirements are set to position the region as a frontrunner for pharmaceutical grade manufacturing of cannabis-based medicines.
Our sister publication, Pharmaceutical Technology Europe, recently conducted an interview with Michael Sassano, CEO at SOMAÍ Pharmaceuticals, to learn more about the European market and how pharmaceutical applications will shape up in the future.
There are various cannabis or cannabinoid-based products used in pharmacotherapy in Europe, mainly for treating chronic pain, nausea, and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. However, currently only one cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical product has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) under the centralized procedure, allowing it to be marketed throughout the entire European Union.

Ep 27: Tracking Strains in Diverse Landscapes
July 2nd 2025In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, we are joined by Daniela Vergara, PhD, Hemp Specialist at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, and Anna Schwabe, PhD, Associate Lecture Professor at the University of Colorado, discussing the evolution of cannabis cultivation and the need for regional climate data. Their recent project, funded by the Agricultural Genomics Foundation, studies 10 cannabis varieties grown by farmers in different regions, specifically plant characteristics, soil type, and harvest metrics. They aim to understand how environmental factors affect cannabis yield and quality, providing actionable insights for farmers and breeders.
