Psychedelic2
As if psychedelics weren’t being pushed hard enough by the fanboys, now we've got some characters merging virtual reality with psychedelic treatment.
We just need some AI/Machine Learning to teach our stupid brains what they should be thinking, and we’ll really be set. Reality is for suckers!
Such soothing music in their youtube video too, though they had us at ‘VR-modulated, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy’.
Rila Therapeutics
Rila debuted late last week and the PR piece didn’t mention anything about having a website. No Linkedin page either.
So we did what we do here at BPG - we guessed the url. That's a secret of the pros for ya.

This is a pretty big commitment – Purdue has a decent pharmacology program, but actual pharma manufacturing is not something for which they have historically been known.
BioPharmGuy came to town in 2009, now this? Is West Lafayette destined to be the next biotech hub? (No)
