“We are thrilled to advance the development of our specialty clinics division through our partnership with BioScript Solutions,” said Robert Tessarolo, President & CEO of NeonMind. “We now have multiple strategic partnerships in place with leading specialty care providers and have built an enhanced clinic network with greater reach. This positions us well to identify and open high-impact clinic locations that will serve local community needs and expedite our time to market. We look forward to working with BioScript Solutions to bring the therapeutic benefits of interventional psychiatry including evidence-based innovative therapies such as psychedelic modalities to mental health patients across the nation.”

About NeonMind Biosciences Inc.
NeonMind operates two divisions: (i) a pharmaceutical division engaged in drug development of psychedelic compounds with two lead psilocybin-based drug candidates targeting obesity; and (ii) a medical services division focused on launching specialty mental health clinics that integrate psychedelic therapeutics into traditional psychotherapy settings.
In its pharmaceutical division, NeonMind has two distinct psilocybin drug development programs targeting obesity. NeonMind’s lead candidate, NEO-001, employs psilocybin as an agonist at the serotonin 5- HT2A receptor, which is involved in the hallucinogenic effect of psychedelics. The Company’s second drug candidate, NEO-002, employs low-dose psilocybin as an agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor, which controls appetite.
NeonMind and its strategic partners are building NeonMind-branded specialty mental health clinics in Canada that incorporate evidence-based innovative interventional psychiatry treatments to address a variety of mental health needs.
