It’s more than a century since Paget first proposed the ‘soil and seed’ hypothesis in cancer, providing evidence that the environment surrounding a tumor is as important as the tumor itself. Research in this area has gathered momentum and it’s now the focus of intense research efforts.

Until now, tumors have been considered wholly responsible for an unpredictable and highly variable immune evading tumor microenvironment. Using genetically engineered animal models researchers now demonstrate that individual-specific receptor variants can shape the composition of the tumor neighborhood irrespective of the tumor types.

Dr. Jaclyn Thomson, Director of R & D, Northern Vine Laboratories, explains how she first got interested in science and, what led her to working in the cannabis industry.

Determining what happens to a drug after it enters the body is a key consideration in the drug development process. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has emerged as one of the most powerful analytical tools for the screening and identification of drug metabolites. Advances in the field of LC-MS have allowed scientists to analyze drug metabolic pathways and drug-drug interactions more closely, and improve therapeutic strategies for many challenging diseases.
