In 2016 he joined the Mount Sinai Program for the Protection of Human Subjects as an IRB analyst and transitioned back to clinical research in mid-2017 where Mr. Van Geem worked on pediatric epilepsy studies, including the Greenwich Pharmaceuticals trial that allowed cannibidiol (CBD) FDA approval for treating Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, and ultimately helped get CBD rescheduled.
