Daehan Nupharm has signed a mutual cooperation agreement with Professor Peter Namsoo Kim, a leading authority in hemp research, to conduct the nation’s first joint research on the production of standardized hemp materials. Professor Kim previously served as a professor at Texas State University and is currently a Distinguished Invited Scientist at the Gyeongbuk Institute for Bioindustry, where he leads the Hemp Research Forum. Through this agreement, Daehan Nupharm will apply Professor Kim’s patented domestic technologies and a U.S. patent-pending PK-16 analytical method to pursue GMP production of standardized hemp materials in Korea. Using the PK-16 method, the company will analyze more than 16 microcomponents from locally cultivated hemp and utilize these results to conduct animal testing in Korea and clinical trials in Thailand. This joint research will be carried out in conjunction with Daehan Nupharm’s GMP production facilities in line with ongoing efforts to legalize hemp domestically. The project is expected to serve as a foundation for Korea’s hemp industry. Through this research, the company aims to develop core technologies that expand the application of medical hemp globally and to establish a successful case of convergence research between science and clinical practice. |
