Masha Burelo holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Aberdeen, in the United Kingdom, and is also a Master of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her research focuses on cannabinoids and neuroscience.
She also holds an MBA and is a graduate of the National Autonomous University of Mexico as a Veterinary Zootechnician.
She has carried out preclinical studies on cannabinoids in the laboratory through her collaboration with the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery of Mexico, and has field experience working with cannabis plants in California, USA.
“My (very personal) view is that there is a wisdom in nature that science cannot measure. By trying to measure and fit nature into a mould, science simply does not have the capacity to grasp it. Cannabis as a whole is an incredible plant, and no matter how many studies are conducted, we would never grasp its level of sophistication.”
