Read more about Dr. Ferrari, MD
Dr. Anthony Ferrari is originally from Farmington Maine and went to Ithaca College to pursue his undergraduate degree in chemistry. After working on fuel cell research at Ithaca College during his undergraduate work, he continued education at Florida State University under Dr. Albert Stiegman where he obtained his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry studying microwave catalysis with specific application in the coal gasification processes. In 2015 he joined an essential oil and CBD company in Colorado where he utilized his analytical techniques to study terpene characterization and its interaction with CBD and other cannabinoids. His interest in plant medicine as a modern solution to pharmaceuticals has led him to Sunmed where he will continue to design CBD based formulations that utilize modern chemical applications. Dr. Ferrari is working alongside FIU and 7 athletic trainers to further their education and specifically use SunMed’s extracts to study: sleep, anxiety, recovery, and pain associated with different athletic populations and even some non-athletic groups. He has also worked with the University of Florida researchers to study HIV impacts with CBD and other pain/recovery models.
