Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc.(OTCQB:CNBX), a leader in personalized cannabinoid medicine focused on cancer and its side effects, today announced that it has submitted a protocol for the Helsinki Committee to conduct a nationwide study which will apply Cannabics' high throughput screening platform to analyze the anti-tumor properties of cannabinoid compounds and chemotherapies on fresh biopsies. If the proposed study is approved, Cannabics will be able to obtain, upon patients' consent, a live biopsy and blood sample and perform drug sensitivity and drug resistance tests.

This protocol is part of Cannabics' ongoing mission to commercialize its personalized diagnostics and apply its technology to Cannabinoids and chemotherapy, which in turn will provide doctors and their patients' supportive data for more informed treatment decisions.

Dr. Eyal Ballan, CTO and Co-Founder of Cannabics, said, "This ex-vivo study is a continuum of our in-vitro study searching for apoptotic effects of Cannabinoids in a personalized manner. We believe it is the first time Cannabinoids are being tested on live biopsies. Our aim is to incorporate cannabis growers, locally and globally, and invest further in mapping their cannabinoid repertoire in order to provide individual tailored treatments for cancer patients."
