Viruses in Cannabis and Hemp with Dr. Jack Munz
Listen now
Description
My guest this week is Dr. Jack Munz. Jack obtained a Bachelor of Science in Botany from Colorado State University while working as a lab assistant facilitating the development of genetic  markers for invasive species. Jack then earned a Master of Science from Illinois State University where  he worked towards increasing vegetable oils in temperate grasses like corn for biodiesel production using targeted gene expression. He also has a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of British  Columbia during which he worked to unravel the genetic regulation of nitrogen starvation responses in  plants with next-gen sequencing technologies. Jack is now applying his experience in plant molecular  genetics to diagnose viruses in cannabis with 3 Rivers Biotech based out of Vancouver, Canada. 3 Rivers  Biotech also has a lab in Ferndale, Washington, and a future lab in California later this year.  https://www.kisorganics.com/blogs/news/episode-85-viruses-in-cannabis-and-hemp-with-dr-jack-munz
