Research Nature is an Institute for Research, Development and Quality Assurance of Natural Remedies, headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The institute researches the efficacy and safety of natural remedies, with a particular focus on cannabis-based solutions, working to ensure they are standardized, contaminant-free, and effective.
The institute operates laboratory instrumentation including HPLC-DAD (cannabinoid and terpene profiling, pesticide detection), GC/MS (standardization, terpene analysis, aflatoxin testing), ICP/MS (heavy metal contamination), and a microbiology laboratory. Its services span quality assurance, cannabis testing, consultation, cultivation consulting, seed-to-sale tracking, extraction support, and quality control.
Research Nature maintains an international Scientific Board of recognized cannabis researchers and a research relationship with the University of Ljubljana's Biotechnical Faculty.
Research Nature Institute supplied approximately 150 Cannabis sativa L. seeds for Martian Grow's orbital genetics program. As a research and cultivation partner, the institute provides seed stock, pre-flight and post-flight genetic analysis capability, and the scientific framework for studying how cosmic radiation and microgravity affect cannabis genetics. The institute's laboratory instrumentation enables the cannabinoid and terpene profiling that forms the analytical backbone of Martian Grow's space-vs-control comparison studies.
The collaboration bridges cannabis pharmacology with space biology through the academic network of the University of Ljubljana Biotechnical Faculty, grounding Martian Grow's commercial genetics story in peer-reviewed science.
