Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics
@UCDavisIPN
Our mission is to advance our understanding of the basic neurobiology of psychedelics and translate this knowledge into safe and effective therapeutics
The closure of the 1st UK #psychedelic-assisted therapy clinic underscores the need for developing low-cost compounds that can be safely used at home. Read more in this @BBC article: bbc.in/3WkqS11 Follow @UCDavisIPN to learn more about psychedelic-inspired compounds.
