German Research Foundation supports cannabis research project at Freie Universität Berlin with another 388,000 euros
New approval: DFG funds "Epithelial Barrier" research group with a total of over one million euros
In course of the legalization of cannabis in Germany, there is a great need for research into the effects of the ingredients on the body. For the non-psychoactive cannabidiol, the "Epithelial Barrier" working group led by Professor Salah Amasheh from the Free University of Berlin has already been able to identify anti-inflammatory properties of the active ingredient cannabidiol that promote intestinal health at the molecular level. On this basis, the German Research Foundation (DFG) has now awarded further research with a further individual grant of 388,000 euros.
