Cannabinoid Education 360, developed by GW Pharmaceuticals

Cannabinoid Education 360 is a new educational initiative that delivers easily accessible, evidence-based, balanced information on cannabinoids and cannabis-based medicines and products.

Our ambition is to provide a full 360-degree perspective on what is really known about the science of cannabinoids, the research behind cannabis-based medicines, and the laws and policy frameworks that regulate them. We want to help dispel any myths and provide clarity around this important, yet complex field of medicine. 

GW Pharmaceuticals (GW), part of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, is a pioneering, global biopharmaceutical company that over the last 20 years has established a world-leading position in cannabinoid science and medicines. GW’s mission is to transform the lives of patients with rare and severe illnesses through developing and delivering rigorously tested cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical medicines with well documented safety and efficacy profiles, manufactured to the highest pharmaceutical standards and approved by medicines regulators.

Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute

The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute (TCCI) was created in 2016 by Tianqiao Chen and his wife Chrissy Luo, the founders of Shanda Group, with a US $1 billion commitment to help advance fundamental brain research. TCCI created the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech later that year with a US $115 million donation. In 2017, the couple committed CNY 500 million to create the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Translational Research, a partnership with the Zhou Liangfu Foundation, Huashan Hospital and Shanghai Mental Health Center. In October 2020, the organization opened its first Frontier Lab for Brain Science which is embedded at Huashan Hospital’s new Hongqiao campus. Its second Frontier Lab was opened within Shanghai Mental Health Center in July 2021.
