Department Profile

Animal Studies

As cannabis-derived products have become more available, veterinarians have seen increased interest among clients in using these products for their pets. These clients understandably are asking, "Are these products legal, safe, and effective for treating medical conditions in animals?" For the benefit of both animals and humans, we seek to ameliorate understanding of the effects of cannabis on well-being through novel discoveries that address potential health dangers affiliated with cannabis usage.

Human Health

For the benefit of California’s population and beyond, we seek to ameliorate human well-being through novel discoveries that address potential health dangers affiliated with cannabis usage.

Industry and Policy

The landscape of cannabis laws has changed significantly in several states, including California, and at even at the federal level in the recent past, and there are numerous aspects of cannabis sale and consumption that can benefit from rigorous research to best guide the development of new or revised standards, policies and laws.

Occupational Health and Safety

As with any industry, it is critical that employees in the burgeoning legal cannabis markets in California and other states are protected by occupational safety and health programs, and that their wellbeing is monitored. Our research seeks to guide informed implementation of new guidelines, policies, and regulations.

Plant Sciences

Fundamental advances in genomics, genetics, biochemistry, plant physiology, evolutionary biology and environmental science have translated into improvements in crop performance and production, postharvest quality, agricultural sustainability and ecosystem management.

These research-based advances are necessary to maintain California's agricultural economy at the forefront of the world, to foster agricultural and environmental sustainability and to assure safe and healthful crops.
