NEW CannMed Coffee Talk, we discuss Mapping Cannabis Diversity with the Pangenome!
Dr. Todd Michael is a leading researcher specializing in genome sequencing and analysis, currently serving as a Research Professor at the @salkinstitute for Biological Studies and an Adjunct Professor at @UCSanDiego. His research has made significant contributions to understanding plant genome architecture, particularly through the study of unique and specialized plants that offer insights into adaptive strategies. His innovative work on pangenome tools and long-read sequencing technologies has advanced the understanding of how plant genomes are organized and how they adapt to specific environmental conditions. #shorts #cannabisgenetics #cannabiseducation
At CannMed 25, Todd presented “Cannabis Pangenome Exposes Minor Cannabinoid Pathway Potential”, which described how his team integrated 193 cannabis genomes to identify extensive genetic and structural diversity and highlight potential breeding bottlenecks.

During our conversation, we discussed:
⦿ How recruitment for cannabis clinical trials differs from traditional clinical trials
⦿ Why prior experience with cannabis is considered a negative for patient recruitment
⦿ How legal concerns and stigma can deter cannabis-naive patients from enrolling
⦿ Why the participant drop out rate is higher in cannabis trials
⦿ How rescheduling may affect patient recruitment future trials
