The money will be used fund research, cover operating expenses and purchase equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCannabinoids have already been proven effective in a number of clinical applications, and there are more than 100 other compounds that have been identified in hemp that could have an impact in other areas,\u201d said Melissa Reynolds, professor of chemistry and associate dean for research in the College of Natural Sciences, in a statement. \u201cHonestly, the possibilities are limitless \u2013 we can explore all types of research that were never available before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Research will be done in partnership with Golden-based Panacea Life Sciences, which made the donation. The company, founded by CSU alumna Leslie Buttorff, manufactures cannabidiol (CBD) products for human and pets.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related right\" \/>\n<p>\u201cCSU offers expertise in the complete cannabinoid value chain, including botany, chemistry, biology, psychology, agricultural sciences, statistics and veterinary research,\u201d Buttorff said. \u201cPanacea\u2019s focus in developing scientifically driven and medically focused products will be further advanced with our partnership with CSU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CSU is currently renovating part of its chemistry building to accommodate the new cannabinoid center.
