💊 Interview of Nick Kadysh, CEO at PharmAla Biotech (MDMA.CSE)
Welcome back to The Microdose Diet a newsletter about personal and professional development using alternative medicines 🍄
In the latest episode, I engaged in an insightful discussion with Nick Kadysh, the founding President & CEO at PharmAla Biotech (MDMA.CSE), the Chair of the board of directors at Psychedelics Canada and the Founding Board Member at Cortexa.
PharmAla is a Canadian biotechnology company focusing on 2 activities:
💊 The manufacturing of MDMA for human use, where researchers and medical professionals are the clients. Globally, PharmAla is one of only two manufacturers in that niche, the other one being MAPS.
💊 The development of early-stage drugs. PharmAla researches and develops novel components of MDMA. MDMA is the first “psychedelic” molecule likely to be granted regulatory approval as a medicine, having already completed one Phase III trial.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why we have experienced such underinvestment in mental health care 🧠
How expertise in regulatory matters is a prerequisite to be successful in the psychedelics industry 👩⚖️
How different the psychedelics industry is from the cannabis industry (hint: biotech vs. agriculture) 🌿
The polemic around the costs of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy 🍄
