Tina is one of very few researchers in the world with a multidisciplinary approach spanning the cultivation, analytical (isolating and identifying compounds), pharmacological/preclinical (mechanism of action predominantly in diabetes/metabolic syndrome, drug interactions, pharmacokinetics) and clinical (medicinal cannabis for symptom relief in palliative care) and qualitative research of bioactive compounds.
