NEW CannMed Coffee Talk, we discuss Combining CBG and Chemotherapy to Treat Pancreatic Cancer! #shorts #cancer #pancreaticcancer
Dr. Mandip Sachdeva is currently a Professor and Section leader, Pharmaceutics at College of Pharmacy at Florida A & M University (FAMU), Tallahassee, Florida. Over his career, Mandip has delivered more than 250 plenaries, keynote and invited talks in international events and meetings and produced more than 190 original publications.His research interests include cancer drug delivery, 3D-printing of tumor cells, and formulating and developing targeted nanoparticles, exosomes and cannabinoids for cancer treatments.
During our conversation, Mandip previews his CannMed 26 oral presentation titled, “Cannabigerol Potentiates Chemotherapy through Multi-Modal Tumor Suppression in Pancreatic Cancer“, which includes insights into his research on using cannabinoids (particularly CBG) to treat pancreatic cancer—one of the most difficult cancers to treat.
We cover:
⦾ The process Mandip’s team used to determine CBG had the best anti-cancer effects against pancreatic cancer
⦾ CBG’s mechanism of action, which targets multiple pathways related to immune regulation, cell death, and tumor migration control
⦾ Why cannabinoids are best used as adjuncts to chemotherapy and not as a standalone treatment
⦾ Higher doses of CBG (up to 100 mg/kg) were non-toxic and further extended survival when combined with reduced chemo doses
⦾ Future research directions, including new combinations of cannabinoids and chemotherapy as well as new formulations for better absorption and bioavailability

![What were some improvements/outcomes from the sleep study of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Dr. Mohsin Maqbool is a pediatric neurologist and sleep specialist based in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. His work focuses on the intersection of neurodevelopment, sleep, and cannabinoid therapeutics in autism spectrum disorder. He is particularly interested in how cannabinoid formulations may influence sleep regulation, behavior, and quality of life in children with autism.
At CannMed 26, Mohsin will present “Autism, Sleep, and Medicinal Cannabis: Evaluating 18-Month Efficacy and Safety Outcomes”
During our conversation, we discuss:
- The gaps in current sleep medicine for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Results from Mohsin’s 18-month longitudinal study including improvements to total sleep time, sleep onset and maintenance, and overall quality of sleep
- The method of finding the effective dose for each patient
- Cannabinoids’ effect on the duration of REM sleep and what the daytime implications are
- Thinking of cannabis as a tool to supplement conventional ASD medications and not a replacement
- Future research directions - using wearables and EEG to investigate how cannabinoids affect sleep architecture and brain physiology, as well as using biomarkers to see whether patients are a good candidate for cannabinoid therapies
