Exploring the Endocannabinoid System for Drug Development, Featuring Punit Dhillon, Chairman & CEO of Skye Bioscience – Xtalks Life Science Podcast Ep. 144

Discovered in the early 1990s by scientists investigating THC, a prominent cannabinoid found in cannabis, the human endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an intricate network involved in cell signaling. Although it is linked with cannabis, the ECS operates independently within your body, regardless of cannabis consumption. It is vital in managing various bodily functions and systems, such as sleep, mood, hunger, memory, reproduction and fertility.

This episode features an interview with Punit Dhillon, Chairman & CEO of Skye Bioscience, a pharmaceutical company developing proprietary molecules to treat diseases involving inflammatory, fibrotic and metabolic conditions. Skye Bioscience is at the forefront of exploring the endocannabinoid system for drug development.
