Who We Are

At Psylo, we are pioneering the development of next-generation therapeutics to treat central nervous system disorders. Our first objective is to develop widely accessible medications that offer improved treatments to standards of care for psychiatric and neurological illnesses by taking our inspiration from the promise of psychedelic molecules. We use cutting-edge technologies including computationally-enhanced drug discovery, to develop novel, potent compounds that can overcome the clinical limitations of conventional psychedelics as therapeutic agents. Our commitment is to transform these breakthrough therapies into accessible and inclusive healthcare solutions.
