Indoor Harvest Corp Forms Scientific
Advisory Board
HOUSTON, TX -- March 16,
2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Indoor Harvest Corp. (OTCQB: INQD), a
developer of personalized cannabis medicines and a provider of
advanced cultivation methods and processes, is pleased to announce
the initial members of the Company’s newly formed scientific
advisory board, which will assist management in the development of
its business plans in the cannabis industry.
“I am very pleased to welcome this
highly qualified team of thought leaders on our mission to pave the
way in defining true biopharmaceutical grade cannabis and the
infrastructure necessary to grow and deliver it. At Indoor Harvest
we are creating proprietary integrated technology infrastructure
designs for manufacturing true bio pharma based cannabis
medicines,” stated Dan Weadock, Indoor Harvest’s CEO.
The initial members of the
scientific advisory board will consist of Dr. Ronald Walter, Dr.
Nadia Sabeh and Mr. Damian Solomon. The Company expects to add
additional members in the coming months as development progresses.
The Company is also in mid-stage discussions with major research
groups and technology companies to expand its efforts
internationally, with announcements expected in the near future.
The Company is pleased to introduce the following new members of
its scientific advisory board:
Dr. Ronald
Walter
After post-doctoral positions as a
National Research Council Fellow at the EPA, and a Research
Associate post at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Dr. Walter joined
Texas State University. Over his 29 year career, he
matriculated through the academic ranks to Professor while building
an internationally recognized molecular genetics research program
involving the Molecular Biosciences Research Group (MBRG) and
associated Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center (XGSC). The MBRG and
XGSC are integrated parts of an overall program continuously funded
through competitive grant awards principally from the NIH, but also
including NSF, NOAA, and various other federal and state
agencies. The research program utilizes Xiphophorus or other
small fish model systems (medaka, zebrafish) to explore fundamental
genetic and biological processes such as; spontaneous and induced
melanoma development, genetics underlying predisposition to cancer
induction, and global shifts in gene expression in response to
environmental stimuli.
Recent studies have employed various
methods for quantitative assessment of gene expression using
contemporary “omics” methodologies. Recent research investigations
have definitively shown common light sources and select wavebands
of light have major effects in altering the genetic state of both
light receiving (skin, eyes), and internal (liver, intestine)
organs. The Walter laboratory is the only research group to have
data on genetic effects directly attributable to specific
wavelengths of light in animals. These results have opened new
avenues of research exploration.
In addition to his research, Dr.
Walter assisted in development of the Biochemistry program at TSU
and has served as Associate Dean for Research. He also serves
as PI and has developed partnership NIH grant proposals (i.e.,
Bridge grants) that provide scholarships for undergraduate and
graduate students stemming from groups underrepresented in the
sciences (URM). Students in this program have matriculate to some
of the best doctoral program in the country (e.g., Johns Hopkins
University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke
University, MD. Anderson, Baylor college of Medicine,
etc.).
Dr. Nadia
Sabeh
Dr. Sabeh (aka. "Dr. Greenhouse") is
an Agricultural and Mechanical Engineer with nearly 20 years of
experience designing climate management systems (HVAC) for indoor
plant production facilities, including greenhouses, vertical farms,
plant factories, container farms, cannabis grows, and mushroom
houses. Dr. Sabeh is a licensed Mechanical Engineer in Sacramento,
California.
In 2007, she received her PhD in
Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering from the University of
Arizona’s Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC).
Her research focused on optimizing ventilation and evaporative
cooling systems for tomato production greenhouses, with the goals
of reducing water and energy use while optimizing climate
control.
As a Masters student at the
Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Sabeh tested ventilation schemes
for the uniform distribution of conditioned air in commercial
mushroom production houses. Dr. Sabeh received her B.S. from the
University of California-Davis, where her love for controlled
environment agriculture began as an intern on a shiitake mushroom
farm in southern Idaho. Dr. Sabeh's dream is to integrate indoor
agriculture into the built environment, connecting human and plant
environments, and transforming the urban landscape into a source
for locally grown food.
Mr. Damian
Solomon
Mr. Solomon has over 20 years of
experience in greenhouse management, traditional horticulture and
controlled environment growing systems. Mr. Solomon has worked for
companies like Eurofresh Farms which is North America’s largest
hydroponic greenhouse operation, Grimmway Farms, North America’s
largest farming company, and DeRuiter Seeds/Monsanto a global seed
company specializing in greenhouse specific vegetable
seeds.
Since 2014 Mr. Solomon has been
involved in the commercial cannabis industry as Director of
Cultivation & Agriculture Technology for MedMen, a pre-eminent
cannabis Company operating in the U.S., where he leveraged his vast
experience in controlled environments to bring best-of-class
procedures, processes and technology into the cannabis space. In
late 2017, Mr. Solomon left MedMen to start his own horticultural
consulting company, Plant Geek Consulting, as he saw a compelling
opportunity to offer his years of understanding, insight and
horticultural expertise to his clients.
He has travelled the world visiting
greenhouses and speaking with growers to share agronomic advice and
experience and provide high-level consulting services. Mr. Solomon
is well known in the industry and considered an expert in the field
of controlled environment agriculture. Mr. Solomon was awarded a BS
in Plant Sciences and Crop Production from the University of
Arizona’s College of Agriculture. In 2015, he was recognized by
University of Arizona’s College of Agriculture and awarded the CEAC
Mission Award for outstanding leadership and exemplary service in
Controlled Environment Agriculture. Mr. Solomon is forward thinking
and loves to blend the art of growing crops with applied technology
to optimize results.
