Cannabis Science and Technology is pleased to announce the addition of Allegra Leghissa, PhD, to its editorial advisory board (EAB).
Dr. Allegra Leghissa graduated from the University of Bologna, Italy with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry in 2014 and a PhD in analytical chemistry from the University of Texas, Arlington in 2018. Under the supervision of Professor Kevin Schug, she worked on the analysis of terpenes and cannabinoids in cannabis and specifically delta-9-THC metabolites by gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS). She also had some experience with the analysis of these components by liquid chromatography (LC)–MS/MS. Her experience in the field of cannabis testing was solidified through participation in relevant conferences and seminars.
Dr. Leghissa is currently an LC–MS/MS application engineer with Shimadzu France.
Ep 27: Tracking Strains in Diverse Landscapes
July 2nd 2025In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, we are joined by Daniela Vergara, PhD, Hemp Specialist at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, and Anna Schwabe, PhD, Associate Lecture Professor at the University of Colorado, discussing the evolution of cannabis cultivation and the need for regional climate data. Their recent project, funded by the Agricultural Genomics Foundation, studies 10 cannabis varieties grown by farmers in different regions, specifically plant characteristics, soil type, and harvest metrics. They aim to understand how environmental factors affect cannabis yield and quality, providing actionable insights for farmers and breeders.
Ep 26: Innovations in Drying and Curing to Protect Flower Quality
May 27th 2025In this latest installment of Noid Knowledge, we are joined by Dr. Allison Justice, Founder and CEO of the Hemp Mine, and David Sandelman COO, CTO & Co-Founder of Cannatrol. Here, Allison and David discuss innovations in cannabis drying and curing, focusing on the Cannatrol technology which controls vapor pressure, preserving trichome integrity, and flower quality. Additionally, Allison shares how the Cannabis Research Center and Coalition (CRC) is transition to an open-source model to support cultivators, researchers, and home growers.
