Founder Biography
Educational Background
Dr. Stefan Broselid holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Pharmacology from Lund University, where he specialized in G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). His academic journey began with a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences from Lund University. Dr Broselid has also worked as a post-doctoral associate at Boston University.
Professional Experience
With over 10 years of preclinical research experience in the field of molecular pharmacology and GPCR research, Dr. Broselid is well-equipped to understand and educate about the intricacies of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), our suprasystem that modulates homeostasis across our entire physiology. He is the current Scientific Lead in the Expert Committee of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians’ Society, where he promotes and delivers ECS education to its members in the UK.
Motivation for Founding ECS.education
Dr. Broselid’s passion for ECS education stems from his discovery of the unique molecular pharmacology of the ECS and of the realisation and recognition of a critical gap in medical curricula worldwide. Despite the ECS’s fundamental role in maintaining homeostasis and its involvement in numerous physiological processes, it remains largely absent from standard medical education, negatively affecting global health care and patient outcomes. This realization prompted him to establish ECS.education as a platform to bridge this knowledge gap and promote comprehensive understanding of the ECS among healthcare professionals and students.
Achievements and Contributions
Dr Broselid was invited to speak at Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference 2022 and delivered the first ECS lecture for HCPs in Sweden.
Dr Broselid has delivered several well-received webinars related to the importance of the ECS in human physiology, online-, and in-person.
Dr Broselid is currently serving as Scientific Lead in the UK Medical Cannabis Clinicians’ Society’s Expert Committee.
Vision for the Future of ECS Education
Dr. Broselid envisions a future where understanding of the ECS is as fundamental to medical education as knowledge of other major physiological systems. Through ECS.education, he aims to:
- Integrate comprehensive ECS education into medical school curricula worldwide.
- Develop accessible, evidence-based resources for healthcare professionals to enhance their understanding of the ECS.
- Foster collaboration between researchers, educators, and clinicians to advance ECS knowledge and its practical applications in healthcare.
- Advocate for policy changes that recognize the importance of ECS education in medical training and continuing education programs.
By pursuing these goals, Dr. Broselid hopes to contribute to a new era of medicine where the ECS’s role in health and disease is fully recognized and utilized to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
