Show Notes

"God made the plant." It's a simple observation that opens the door to a much bigger conversation about the evolution of cannabinoids, science, and the future of medicine.

What if compounds found in cannabis could lead to new approaches to treating disease?

In this episode of the Hatch Podcast, producer Tim Scott sits down with Christopher St. Pierre, CEO of Oscity BioSciences, to explore how a company based in Foley, Alabama, is working to bring cannabinoid-based compounds into the world of pharmaceutical development.

This episode is part of our Hatch Bessel 3 series, highlighting the innovative companies and entrepreneurs involved in Hatch's biotech accelerator program.

Chris shares the story behind Oscity, the science of co-crystals, and how the company's patented technology aims to improve the stability and potential pharmaceutical applications of cannabinoids.
