Dr. Mastinu completed his PhD in 2014 from the University of Cagliari. He is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Brescia as a pharmaceutical botanist. The main topic of his research was the phytochemical characterization of secondary metabolites from plants. In particular, he studies ecological, abiotic, and biotic strategies to increase the production of secondary plant metabolites. Furthermore, he evaluates the potential biological activities in multiple in-vitro models, including the cannabinoid system. Dr. Mastinu published more than 80 publications in indexed and international journals with an h-index of 29 (Scopus id: 18434773500, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8862-2896). Now, Dr. Mastinu is the principal investigator for several projects: “Modulation of abiotic stress in plants”; “Characterization of new bioactive cannabimimetic natural entities ”; and “Phytochemical characterization of cannabinoids from Cannabis sativa.” Dr. Mastinu was the winner of the Otsuka 2017 Prize for his research. His research topics mainly include: secondary metabolites; ethnopharmacology; abiotic stress; abiotic stress tolerance; cannabis sativa; cannabaceae; medical marijuana; phytocannabinoids; CB1 receptor; cannabidiol; tetrahydrocannabinol; CB2 receptor; cannabinoids; cannabinoid receptor agonists; cannabinoid receptor antagonists; cannabinoid receptor modulators.
