Dr. EunSoo Kim, Structure and Function of Glandular Trichomes in Cannabis

November 2022

Dr. Eun-Soo Kim’s background is in plant morphology and development, specializing in industrial and medicinal plants such as Cannabis, ginseng, geranium, hops, and Mentha. His research informs on practical issues in agriculture and plant biology. As a postdoctoral researcher at Indiana University, he was responsible for investigating the development and ultrastructure of glandular trichomes in Cannabis. Additionally, from 1991 until 2002, he served as a visiting scientist in Dr. Paul Mahlberg’s lab, which was one of only two given DEA permission to grow Cannabis in the United States. He has published 20 research articles on Cannabis which have been cited over 750 times. His short-term plan is to research cannabinoids on glandular trichomes, such as CBD, CBG, and CBC in the hopes of providing useful knowledge for the development of a candidate medicine. He is Professor Emeritus at Konkuk University and has served as Dean, the College of Life Science and Biotechnology, Konkuk University. Currently, he is working as a Visiting Scholar, with the Institute of Cannabis Research.
