    When the Swiss chemist synthesized and tested the psychedelic compound LSD in the 1930s, he knew he had found a tool to explore the human mind. Indeed, before psychedelics became illegal in the late 1960s, a mountain of evidence had been produced, showing potential benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. After a decades-long hiatus, research on psychedelics as a treatment for psychiatric diseases is experiencing a renaissance—and initial results look promising. While the field has seen a setback with the recent request for more data by the FDA for the approval of MDMA for PTSD, research into different psychedelic compounds continues, promising new hopes to battle worldwide mental health crises. In the newest episode of the BioRevolution podcast, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow discuss the history, the promise, and the risks of psychedelics as treatments for psychiatric diseases with neuroscientist, psychedelics expert, and executive coach Galyna Pidpruzhnykova https://www.linkedin.com/in/galynapidpruzhnykova/ https://www.galynapipdpruzhnykova.com/ Galyna also outlines her efforts to develop a psychedelics strategy to battle the mental health crisis in Ukraine, where the Ministry of Health published a draft law for research on psychedelic compounds just a few days after we recorded this podcast. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7308180815761330176/ Disclaimer: Louise von Stechow & Andreas Horchler and their guests express their personal opinions, which are founded on research on the respective topics, but do not claim to give medical, investment or even life advice in the podcast.

    This time on the BioRevolution podcast: science itself. While recent surveys show persistently high trust in science worldwide, certain scientific topics have become the subject of intense societal and political debate. This politicization of science puts scientists in a difficult position when they are trying to argue based on facts. The value of facts and evidence-based science seems to be increasingly questioned by those in power and by those in control of assets. If those who make laws and regulate science don’t see evidence and consensus as reliable resources anymore, what will become of progress in biomedicine, which feeds innovation in biotech, pharma, and medicine?

    In some respects, 2024 has been a record year for AI in biotech, with the $1 billion founding of the antibody-centered biotech company Xaira and the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to DeepMind researchers Demis Hassabis, John Jumper, and David Baker. However, despite years of investment and innovation, we still lack an answer to the most pressing question: Will AI revolutionize drug development, or are we in a bubble that is about to burst? In episode 30 of the BioRevolution podcast, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow explore various use cases for AI in biotech—from discovery to clinical development, from chemistry to biology, and from data-centric to algorithm-centric AI strategies—trying to assess where the biggest payoff will be.
