OUR LEADERSHIP
Jan Storch
CEO, Co-founder, Pharma R&D
He graduated from the University of Chemistry and Technology in organic chemistry and completed his Ph.D. at the Czech Academy of Sciences, where he is still the head of the Department of Advanced Materials and Organic Synthesis. His fascination with chemical processes (not only in the human body) has always pushed him one step further. The development of an industrial method for the isolation of one of the most promising and intensively researched substances of recent times – cannabidiol (CBD) – resulted in the founding of the pharmaceutical company CB21 Pharma s.r.o. and the associated brand CANNEFF®, of which he is a co-owner.
Lenka Průšová
COO, Co-founder, Cosmetics R&D & RA
After graduating from the University of Chemistry and Technology, she gradually developed home chemistry products, professional hair products and then fully developed other cosmetic products outside the Czech Republic, including in Toronto. In 2014, after completing a program at Vrije University in Brussels, she became the youngest cosmetics safety assessor in the Czech Republic. Together with her colleague Jan Storch, she launched the CANNEFF® brand, which has revolutionized the cosmetics market (not only) in the Czech Republic. She is the co-owner of CB21 Pharma s.r.o.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During the research and development of pharmaceutical products, the products are subjected to pre-clinical and clinical evaluation phases. We test for safety and irritability, verify the effectiveness of the substances used at a given concentration and for a given indication, and determine the correct dosage and potential side effects. We cooperate with our own scientific board and perform clinical testing in faculty hospitals in the Czech Republic. This is what allows us to guarantee the effects of individual products and be the first company with registered medical devices containing CBD. The exceptional effects have been achieved thanks to a unique combination of the latest scientific knowledge and our own preclinical research and the appropriate form of application of the respective preparations.
OUR FOCUS
There are many inaccuracies and myths around cannabinoids and public misconceptions that cannabinoids or cannabis can address a wide range of health problems and diseases. However, the truth is that after applying the principles of evidence-based medicine, there is only a narrow group of indications that can be successfully targeted by cannabinoids. Based on the latest evidence from basic research, our preclinical research and clinical trial data, we are focusing our attention on various inflammatory conditions and diseases, psychiatric disorders and pain. These areas cover the following medical disciplines:
GYNECOLOGY
-
PROCTOLOGY
-
GASTROENTEROLOGY
-
UROLOGY
-
DENTISTRY
-
DERMATOLOGY
-
PSYCHIATRY
PIPELINE
MEDICAL DEVICES
-
Clinical trials for label extension on CANNEFF SUP a CANNEFF VAG SUP are ongoing
-

-
Full pipeline of other innovative products in preclinical and clinical development in pilot phase clinical trials and phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate efficacy and safety.
COSMETICS
There are many skin types, and for each type an individual approach and the right care is needed. However, the active ingredient cannabidiol works on every skin type. This is simply because in the human body, cannabinoid receptors of the CB1 and CB2 type naturally exist on the surface of every cell. CBD thus activates the cells' natural abilities and stimulates them to regenerative processes, leading to overall skin rejuvenation and improvement.
