(22,651 posts)The SETH group's President, Dr. Sean McAllister, is a molecular pharmacologist at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute. Dr. McAllister earned his bachelor's degree in Biology and his doctoral degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the Medical College of Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. McAllister's doctorate research focused on the interactions of cannabinoids with their endogenous receptors. He completed postdoctoral training at the Forbes Norris Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Research Center where he was part of the first group to discover that the cannabinoid, THC, was effective at delaying the onset of ALS in a genetic mouse model. Findings led to a small pilot clinical trial with positive outcomes. Dr. McAllister was trained and funded by the National Institutes of Health and has been studying endocannabinoid pharmacology for over a decade.
