"We are excited to introduce members of our Management and Scientific Advisory Board and give some insight into the incredible projects and direction they are focused on in this dynamic field. As key thought leaders in the community, their insights to the audience will be highly educational. In breaking down these key issues in drug development and other advances in research, we are able to foster a lively, informed debate among those leaders who are helping to shape the psychedelic industry," said Joshua Bartch, CEO of Mydecine. "The more resources that are available to key stakeholders in this industry, the more we will see wider public acceptance of these important – and in some cases – life changing compounds."
In each webinar, 3 to 4 featured thought leaders in the psychedelic space will give their expert perspective on the current and future research, findings and their applications to the marketplace. The participants will engage in deep and intimate conversations followed by a Q&A period with the audience.
We would also like to welcome Robert Roscow, CSO, to the Board of Directors for Mydecine Innovations Group. As one of the founders, his background and knowledge to help drive the vision for Mydecine is invaluable. His expertise and contributions around genomics, evolution and molecular biology around cannabinoids were key drivers to the success of ebbu and Canopy Growth. His work has resulted in multiple patent filings and accolades in publications ranging from Nature to Rolling Stone . Now, Mr. Roscow has set his focus on the vast healing potential of the safe and effective compounds found in fungi.
