NeonMind Biosciences Inc. (CSE: NEON) has appointed pharmaceutical executive Robert Tessarolo as its President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Tessarolo has 25 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Most recently he held the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Mind Medicine (Mindmed) Inc., a psychedelic drug discovery and drug development company now traded on the NEO exchange, from September 2019 to January 2020.  Prior, Mr. Tessarolo was President and Chief Executive Officer of Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc., a diversified specialty pharmaceutical company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. His experience includes executive and key leadership roles that span over two decades including  commercial and business development experience with obesity, addiction and neurologic assets.

“These are exciting times in psychedelic drug development. There is an array of dynamic molecules that have been well characterized over the years but have not been adequately studied in the rigorous clinical trials necessary for regulatory approval. NeonMind grabbed my attention with its distinctive focus on the obesity market and desire to bring new treatment modalities to patients suffering with obesity. Over the years promising new drugs to treat obesity have failed to gain regulatory approval.  This market remains underserved and patients dissatisfied with current treatment options. A safe and effective new approach would be well received,” says NeonMind President and CEO, Robert Tessarolo. “NeonMind’s unique intellectual property portfolio makes it well positioned for growth. I’m grateful to be at the helm of this organization to lead its growth as it matures and makes what could be a truly significant impact on the health and well-being of populations worldwide.”

Ehave, Inc. (OTC Pink: EHVVF) announced it is exploring how palliative patients could benefit from its Ketamine home delivery platform, KetaDASH. KetaDASH will be based on a dashboard that provides ketamine to patients who have had it prescribed by a physician. The dashboard will provide an objective view of performance metrics and allow KetaDASH to ensure necessary medical guidance, supervision, and support.

Ben Kaplan, CEO of Ehave said, “Our goal is to provide an IV service that will allow medical professionals to provide psychedelic-assisted therapies in the comfort and convenience of their patients’ homes. We believe a large number of patients prefer a medical technician come to their home over going to a clinic.”
