Zelda Therapeutics was proud to sponsor the Medical Marijuana and Autism Consensus Symposium on 19 October 2019 in Philadelphia, bringing together leading experts in Autism to discuss the potential benefits of medicinal cannabis.
Results from the Observational Study for autism being undertaken in collaboration with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia were presented at the conference.
