The Company has engaged two prestigious Canadian universities, Western University and the University of Waterloo, to provide research and to create these unique formulations and products. Our research is focused on mitigation of the spread of cancerous tumors and the development of novel pharmacotherapies for mental health.
The company has found a competitive advantage working with Dr. Steve Laviolette, a scientific veteran with over 13 years of research experience in the field of mental health and cannabis, and his dedicated scientific team of 12 scientists at Western University. This partnership gives our Company a tremendous competitive advantage compared to sporadic publicly disclosed research in this area. The completed pre-clinical trials at the Western University lab have demonstrated exciting results.
“We continue to be enthusiastic about our partnership with CanaQuest, and we are proud they are winners of the Go Global Awards “Business of the Year – Category of Life Science,” states Dr. Steven Laviolette. “The results of our research have demonstrated safer and clinically superior cannabinoid formulations aimed at treating the symptoms of various mental disorders.”
