HLI Interviews from Psychedelic Therapeutics and Drug Development Conference

We bring you six interviews with leaders in the psychedelics industry who will be presenting at the Psychedelic Therapeutics & Drug Development Conference taking place in San Francisco on May 15 & 16, 2023.  The episode spans a variety of topics, each crucial to the development of psychedelic medicines.  We begin with government funded drug discovery research, followed by a look at the clinical research landscape both in academia and industry settings.  Next our interviewees discuss legal considerations in the field of psychedelic drug development, from both regulatory and intellectual property lenses.  To close the episode out we discuss trends in the current investment landscape.  Be sure to check out the full conference agenda at psychedelics-conference.com and join us in person at the event as we continue these discussions!
