## About SIMCR

SIMCR (Swiss Institute for Medical Cannabis Research) is a nonprofit scientific institute headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. Its mission is to advance knowledge of the endocannabinoid system and patient-centered cannabinoid therapeutics through two complementary institutional pillars: education and clinical research.

SIMCR does not represent a commercial interest. It is an independent scientific organisation committed to rigorous, evidence-based research and education in the domain of cannabinoid medicine.

## Two Pillars

### Pillar 1 – SIMCR Academy (Education)

The SIMCR Academy is the educational arm of the institute. It develops structured, CME-certified educational programmes focused on the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid therapeutics, designed for:
- Physicians and medical doctors
- Scientists and researchers
- Healthcare professionals
- Medical educators

The Academy's curriculum begins with a foundational course on the endocannabinoid system, followed by more specialised modules on cannabinoid pharmacology and clinical applications. A long-term objective is to integrate these courses into formal academic settings including universities and medical schools.

### Pillar 2 – Clinical Research

SIMCR is developing clinical research initiatives focused on cannabinoid therapeutics. Key characteristics:
- Research priority: full-spectrum cannabinoid extracts
- Approach: scientifically designed, patient-centered protocols
- Methodology: rigorous, multi-disciplinary with ethical oversight
- Status: first human research protocol in preparation (as of 2026)

Areas of investigation include therapeutic applications of cannabinoid extracts where existing research is limited or has historically focused only on isolated compounds.
