Robert Barrow, CEO of biotech company MindMed

The worlds of medicine and psychedelics are getting closer. How can new mental health treatments become part of the norm?

Optimised MDMA dosing, psychedelic precision medicine, LSD neutralising… The landscape of psychiatry is changing fast. As traditional medicine continues to advance, and in order to combat the wave of mental health problems heightened by the Covid-19 pandemic, the industry is reconsidering forms of treatment previously disregarded.

This session brings Robert Barrow, CEO of biotech company MindMed, into the conversation about how we can improve how we treat mental health issues. We’ll also hear how specialised psychological therapy can be adapted into mainstream medical care.
