CBIS 001 has successfully completed drug discovery in conjunction with Harvard Medical School, with the results published in Frontier Oncology Journal. This LOI explores the potential of Albert Labs expertise taking CBIS 001 through pre-clinical studies in Portugal, Pharmacokinetic studies in Australia, and Real World Evidence accelerated regulatory access pathways in the United Kingdom. 
  • A clinical review spearheaded by industry-leading pre-clinical researcher, Dr Ricardo Dinis (University of Porto), of naturally occurring potential drug candidates with anxiolytic properties and a historically safe toxicity profile, with the potential for subsequent licence indications, which include anxiety, and insomnia.
