💡 Technical & Interpersonal Skills

Daniela Vergara holds her graduate degree in agricultural science from Indiana University Bloomington. prior to that, she had two years of undergraduate work in plant genetics from Universidad de Antioquia in Ecuadorean capital,Ecuador. There she initiated the study of Cannabis sativa L. and her co-author, Rubén Rojas-Mendoza, from the same university, during which they first identified the genome of this plant. Daniela Vergara is currently a Assistant Instructor at Indiana University Bloomington from August 2007 to August 2013.Research Associate at Universidad de Antioquia from January 2006 to August 2007. Emerging Crop Specialist at Cornell University. Research Associate at University of Colorado Boulder. Legal Expert Witness at CGRI, LLc. Director and Founder at AGRICULTURAL GENOMICS FOUNDATION. R&D Advisor at Front Range Biosciences from August 2019 to April 2021. Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Colorado Boulder from January 2013 to January 2017. PhD student at Indiana University Bloomington from January 2007 to January 2013.Daniela Vergara has an undergraduate degree in Agrobiology from the Universidad de Antioquia in Ecuador, where she studied Cannabis sativa L. Her research interests lie in Cannabis sativa L. and its derivatives. She started her academic career in biochemistry, working on a project focused on the study of Cannabis sativa L. derivatives and their medical applications. Afterwards, she moved on to plant genetics, first working on a study of the cannabinoid plant CBD, and then on the Cannabidiol plant CBG. Daniela Vergara’s research is focused on understanding the genetic and epigenetic differences between Cannabis sativa L. derivatives and the Cannabis plant. In addition, she is a research associate at the Universidad de Antioquia, where she is also an instructor and a consultant. As a research associate, she has worked on a project focused on the study of Cannabis sativa L. derivatives and their medical applications, as well as on the study of the Cannabidiol plant CBG.
