Pioneering natural product science

The Center for Cannabis and Natural Product Pharmaceutics (CCNPP) aims to expand upon the scientific progress of the state-approved medical marijuana academic clinical research center at Penn State.

While cannabis remains an integral part of the research conducted by the center, interests will also encompass other natural products in both basic and clinical science studies for a wide range of diseases and disorders, including pain, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and many other conditions.

The CCNPP provides ready access to infrastructure for natural product extraction and analytical chemistry analysis.

In addition, a variety of biological science pipelines have been established.
