After a busy past few weeks full of conferences, our quarterly full-company off-site, and an exciting presentation by our CSO Jeffrey Brown, we look forward to an eventful July - during which we’ll introduce you to more of our team and their important contributions to our work!

This week, the Sensorium team traveled to Ashby, MA for our company Offsite. Every quarter we take time to zoom out, celebrate successes, address challenges, and connect over food and fun. Whatever your plans are this holiday weekend, we hope they involve great company in nature.

Our CEO Dick Simon and CSO Jeffrey Brown just returned from the largest psychedelics conference in history.  #PS23  explored everything from plant medicine to policy, with fascinating conversations on every stage. This is an incredibly exciting time for the psychedelics space!

Our CSO Jeffrey Brown gave an exciting update on our lead program, SENS-01 - which shows promise to deliver rapid therapeutic effect for treating anxiety - to the largest psychedelics conference in history this week in Denver. #ps23

Our Director of Drug Discovery, Michael Placzek, was drawn to work at Sensorium by our spirit of discovery. 'The diversity and sheer number of molecules that nature provides is astounding,' he says. 'I look forward to continuing discovering therapeutics inspired from nature.'
