Alternative Careers in Biotech: Kayleen Sabino, VP of Operations at Cannalysis
Manage episode 283418108 series 2864794
A booming industry around the United States, the Cannabis industry’s worth in this country could be greater than the GDP of 9 US States. In Southern California, Cannabis is even more important and commonly used than the rest of the country with the percent increase of usage in Los Angeles (LA) skyrocketing to 62% from March 2018 to March 2019. From edibles to lotions, Cannabis can be found in many forms making the industry even more interdisciplinary and varied than ever before. With the great usage of this drug and substance that was once considered dangerous, however, comes the need for government regulations, stringent product testing, and other mechanisms to keep consumers safe.
The need to make sure products meet a certain standard brings us to Cannalysis, a company based in Los Angeles that focuses on efficiently testing new cannabis products so that they meet state guidelines. As quoted from their website, Cannalysis is “... inventing the best way to test them [Cannabis Products]” by employing robotics for “less error with groundbreaking express sample prep automation” throughout the testing process. Creating a streamlined testing process is key, and Cannalysis is at the forefront.
Are you interested in learning more about how this Los Angeles staple goes from the plant to your pocket safely? Join Dr. Yewande Pearse PhD, Social Media Associate at Biotech Connection Los Angeles, as she speaks with Kayleen (Leong) Sabino, Vice President of Operations at Cannalysis. Sabino virtually sat down to discuss the science being Cannalysis’ amazing work and what the future of the cannabis industry in LA might look like moving forward.
