Dr. Oded Sagee To Give Private Lecture on Breeding of New Medical Cannabis Varieties

NEW YORK, September 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

BreedIT Corp., BRDT through its Israeli subsidiary, BreedIT Ltd., the exclusive worldwide license holder and distributor of highly sophisticated Intelligent Decision Support Software (IDSS) platform for plant breeders and researchers, today announced that Dr. Oded Sagee will give a private lecture on breeding of new strains of medical cannabis at the upcoming Marijuana For Medical Professionals Conference in Denver, Colorado. The presentation will be made on Tuesday, September 9th, 2014 at 5:00 PM (Mountain Time) at the Sherman Street Event Center.

Dr. Sagee is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BreedIT Ltd., and a pioneer in the field of agri-high-tech, with in-depth knowledge of agriculture, biotechnology, life sciences, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals. He completed his Ph.D. in Plant Physiology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and served as a senior researcher and head of department at the Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center, Israel.

Dr. Sagee's lecture, titled Breeding of New Medical Cannabis Varieties, will focus on the increasing role of technology throughout the breeding industry as well as an overview of the Company's activities within the medical cannabis industry. The presentation will also feature a demonstration of iBreedIT® and the measureable impact it provides to breeders.

Breeding is an increasingly complex process and the amount of data generated necessitates a sophisticated technology solution. The cornerstone of iBreedIT® is an infrastructure developed by the world-renown vegetable breeding and research group at the R.H Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment of the Hebrew University, to manage their in-house research projects.

The end result is a platform that supports every stage of the breeding process, from planning through the final harvest, and a reduction in the time and expense of bringing products to market.

Dr. Sagee commented on the announcement saying, "iBreedIT is ideally suited for medical cannabis breeders. It not only enables researchers to tag desired genes and nurture specific characteristics, such as CBD and THC levels, its comprehensive documentation capabilities are invaluable for compliance within the highly regulated cannabis and pharmaceutical industries. Finally the cloud-based Software as a Service delivery make it affordable and accessible to ventures of any size."

The conference will convene from September 9-11, 2014 at the Sherman Street Event Center in Denver, Colorado. To register for the conference, or to learn more about the event, visit the conference website http://www.mmjfordoctors.com or contact Martha Montemayor at mmjfordoctors@gmail.com.
