Platform Technology
Platform Technology Utilizing Metabolic Engineering and Optimization Techniques:
Discovered an efficient, patent-pending bacterial biosynthesis process for tryptamine production
Developing a portfolio of tryptamine derived, inspired by psychedelically compounds
Demonstrated the entourage effect of certain tryptamines in a laboratory-controlled environment
With a proprietary platform technology, the Company is in the process of developing new drugs by producing novel psychoactive molecules from genetically modified bacteria. The platform is expected to enable the rapid generation of highly stable compounds far cheaper, faster and greener than any other published method.
Currently working in the laboratory on over twenty psychedelically inspired compounds from different fungi and plants with unique psychoactive properties.
Clinical Studies
PsyBio is in the process of preparing the initial molecules for clinical batch manufacturing and concurrently preparing an investigational new drug (“IND”) application to study the compounds in patients with cancer related depression.
