Cybin Corp Announces Partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cybin, Canada’s premier medicinal mushroom life sciences company with a core focus on advancing psilocybin research and intellectual property is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science (TCPS).

Some of the first academic research available on microdosing was published by the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science (TCPS) via its co-founders, Rotem Petranker and Thomas Anderson. Both gentlemen have also been appointed as exclusive clinical advisors to Cybin and will be working alongside the company on all Canadian clinical initiatives.

Cybin is working towards building a vast intellectual property portfolio. The IP is structured around unique psilocybin delivery mechanisms that target certain indications. Key partnerships with esteemed individuals and institutions who share the same vision will assist in the acceleration of Cybin’s goals.

“While there is evidence to support psilocybin as a treatment for certain indications, the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science is taking a clinical approach to prove or disprove the safety and efficacy of psilocybin-based microdosing through an open science approach,” says Paul Glavine, CEO of Cybin. “We are delighted to join the Centre on this journey,” Glavine adds.

“We are excited to join forces with Cybin and to offer our expertise. A number of firms had approached TCPS, but Cybin demonstrated a superior commitment to high-quality research and integrity in product development. Our high standards for scientific rigour and transparency will find a fitting home within the culture Cybin is cultivating in Canada and abroad,” says Thomas Anderson, Co-founder of the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science.

“I am excited for this collaboration, which will explore the huge potential for benefiting mankind,” says Rotem Petranker, Co-founder of the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science.
