Thomas Jefferson University Offers Three Graduate Certificates in Cannabis Science
Thomas Jefferson University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) announced plans to offer three graduate certificates in cannabis science at their Institute of Emerging Health Professions.
According to the university, their expert faculty members developed the three academic graduate certificates for healthcare and cannabis industry professionals to learn the current cannabinoid therapies and their health effects. They also reportedly partnered with the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education for their leading expertise in toxicological analysis to deliver an unparalleled learning experience.
The three certificates include:
- Cannabinoid Chemistry and Toxicology: This program was created for those interested in regulating the emerging legal cannabis industry with an understanding of analytical methodologies for the identification and interpretation of cannabis and cannabinoid products.
- Cannabinoid Pharmacology: This certificate will teach students the mechanisms of drug action and aspects of pharmacokinetics as it relates to cannabis.
- Cannabis Medicine: For clinicians and healthcare professionals, this certificate will provide an understanding of the science underlying endocannabinoids and their clinical applications.
The university also offers non-degree options for the two courses titled “Cultural History, Regulation” and “Policy of Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research Design.” For more information, visit www.jefferson.edu/CannabisCertificates.
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.
Ep 26: Innovations in Drying and Curing to Protect Flower Quality
May 27th 2025In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, we are joined by Dr. Allison Justice, Founder and CEO of the Hemp Mine, and David Sandelman COO, CTO & Co-Founder of Cannatrol. Here, Allison and David discuss innovations in cannabis drying and curing, focusing on the Cannatrol technology which controls vapor pressure, preserving trichome integrity, and flower quality. Additionally, Allison shares how the Cannabis Research Center and Coalition (CRC) is transition to an open-source model to support cultivators, researchers, and home growers.
