He is Chair of Clinical Neuroscience at Plymouth University, Director of the Peninsula Clinical Trials Unit, Chair of the UK NIHR Nervous System Disorders Speciality Group and has served on the UK MRC Neuroscience and Mental Health Board, and the MRC Methodology Panel. He is particularly interested in the way we do trials for neurodegenerative diseases, has been Chief Investigator in several large multicentre randomised controlled trials, including the investigation of cannabinoid use in multiple sclerosis. He has authored many papers on cannabinoids, multiple sclerosis and the methodology of clinical trials in neurodegeneration.

Professor Renger Witkamp studied Biology and Pharmacy at the Utrecht University (NL). He obtained his pharmacist degree in 1987, and started his career as pharmacist/lecturer at the Veterinary Faculty of the Utrecht University, which was combined with his PhD training on experimental pharmacokinetics. After his PhD he continued as assistant professor, and later as associate professor at the Utrecht University, until 1996.

In 2006 he became professor in Nutrition and Pharmacology at Wageningen University, which at that time was a newly established academic chair. His group focusses, in teaching and research on concepts and applications at the interface between food and pharma, including medical nutrition and drug-nutrient combinations. Research is predominantly directed at further elucidating the actions of plant cannabinoids and endocannabinoids on inflammatory processes and eating behavior. Practical applications of this program include muscle preservation during chronic disease and intestinal disorders.
