Psyence BioMed Announces U.S. Strategic Engagement Initiative Focused on GMP Ibogaine Research and Manufacturing
NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Psyence BioMed Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBM) (“Psyence BioMed” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and supply of nature-derived psychedelic compounds for clinical research and therapeutic applications, today announced that members of its executive leadership team will travel to the United States in the coming weeks to meet with researchers, institutions, industry leaders, and government stakeholders involved in advancing psychedelic medicine research and policy initiatives. The visit follows recent U.S. policy developments supporting increased research collaboration, regulatory review pathways, and clinical investigation involving psychedelic compounds, including ibogaine. As part of the Company’s engagement efforts, Psyence BioMed Chief Executive Officer Jody Aufrichtig recently submitted a formal letter to President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., applauding the Administration’s leadership in advancing research initiatives involving psychedelic compounds and expanding pathways for scientific collaboration and innovation. The purpose of the Company’s upcoming U.S. engagement initiative is to educate and inform stakeholders on the complexity, regulatory considerations, and scientific infrastructure required to manufacture pharmaceutical-grade ibogaine under Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) standards suitable for regulated clinical research. Through its strategic investment in PsyLabs, Psyence BioMed has established active ibogaine operations and manufacturing capabilities in Africa – the natural and original source of ibogaine. The Company believes it is among a limited number of organizations globally capable of producing natural, pharmaceutical-grade ibogaine at scale under pharmaceutical compliant GMP conditions. PsyLabs operates a GMP-compliant facility in Southern Africa focused on the cultivation, extraction, purification, and manufacturing of highly purified psychedelic compounds from natural sources. Psyence BioMed’s vertically integrated model supports ethical sourcing practices, quality control, analytical testing, and scalable supply chain management designed to support future clinical research demand. “We believe global interest in ibogaine research continues to accelerate, particularly as policymakers, researchers, and healthcare institutions explore innovative approaches to serious mental health conditions,” said Jody Aufrichtig, Chief Executive Officer of Psyence BioMed. “Our objective during this visit is to contribute constructively to those conversations by sharing our expertise and helping stakeholders better understand the highly specialized process required to produce compliant pharmaceutical-grade ibogaine suitable for regulated research environments.” The Company noted that following recent U.S. policy announcements, it has experienced increased engagement from U.S.-based researchers and institutions seeking information regarding compliant ibogaine manufacturing capabilities and supply availability for future regulated research initiatives. Psyence BioMed believes its operational footprint in Africa, vertically integrated infrastructure, and existing GMP inventory position the Company strategically within the emerging global ibogaine supply ecosystem.
