NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkNewsAudio — Cybin Corp. today announces that its chief executive officer, Doug Drysdale, is featured in an exclusive audio interview with NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”). One of 50+ brands in the InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”), NNW is a financial news and content distribution company. During the interview, Drysdale provides insight into his background before highlighting Cybin’s 2020 milestones and near-term goals.
The broadcast can be heard at The NetworkNewsAudio Interviews Podcast.
Drysdale started the interview by providing an overview of the company. “Cybin is a bio-pharma company. We’re developing mushroom-derived pharmaceuticals for mental illness – also health products from mushrooms that support areas like cognition and immune response. Through our sublingual psilocybin development program, we are in position to hopefully be among the first commercially approved psychedelic medications for mental health,” he said.
Announced as Cybin’s new CEO through a news release on Sept. 1, 2020, Drysdale took an opportunity during the interview to discuss his decades of experience in the health care space. “I’ve been in health care for about 30 years,” he added. “For the past dozen years or so, I’ve been the CEO of three different companies. The first I started in 2008 with a group of investors, and we grew from inception to about $450 million in revenues in a little over five years. The second company was Nasdaq-listed. My most recent company where I was CEO was a turnaround situation, but we grew revenue by about 60% last year and made it onto the 2020 Inc. 5000 list.”
When speaking about the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Drysdale detailed how Cybin has been able to avoid many of the associated business hurdles. “We have a team in Toronto; I’m in the Boston area; and we have a clinical team in Jamaica. Given that sort of virtual setup, we’ve been barely impacted by the pandemic. We’re very fortunate,” Drysdale noted.
By leveraging this strategic position, Cybin has achieved several milestones in recent months. “We have secured a source of GMP psilocybin API to support our initial clinical program, and we’ve initiated a program to synthesize our own proprietary API to support future programs,” Drysdale added. “We’re also very busy on the business development front, and I fully anticipate that we’ll be announcing a number of transactions that potentially expand our development capabilities and add to our IP portfolio.”
The company is primed to build on the momentum of an industry that continues to ramp up.
“You may have heard that one of our competitors, Compass Pathways, announced last week that it’s intending to go public through a Nasdaq IPO this fall. The reporting is that their valuation will be around $500 million or so, and I think that’s really good news for Cybin and its investors,” Drysdale concluded. “We’ll be watching their IPO with great interest, as you can imagine, and I look forward to sharing more with you once we get through the process.”
