SPONSORING FUNDAMENTAL UNIVERSITY RESEARCH

Academic Research Sponsorships.

At Cubed Biotech, we believe that the future of psychedelic medicine depends on rigorous, university-led research. That’s why we proudly sponsor leading neuroscientists whose work uncovers the mechanisms by which psychedelic compounds restore mental health"

🌐 Duke University & University of Cambridge
Breakthrough PTSD Remission with 5-MeO-DMTThrough a cross-institutional collaboration with Duke’s Dr. Paul Seli and Cambridge’s Dr. Anya R., Cubed is helping advance research into the fast-acting therapeutic potential of 5-MeO-DMT. In a recent case, their team documented full remission of PTSD in a female subject following guided 5-MeO-DMT therapy—one of the first real-world insights into its impact on trauma-related brain function. The research now explores how 5-MeO-DMT modulates the Default Mode Network and fear processing centers, with implications for future treatment-resistant trauma therapies.

    “Our work with 5-MeO-DMT suggests it may rapidly disrupt entrenched patterns of trauma-related cognition, allowing the brain to reprocess fear memories from a place of safety. It’s a fundamentally different mechanism than what we see in conventional antidepressants.”

Duke University

Our sponsorship of Paul Seli, Ph.D’s study is into the effect of psilocybin on political partisanship has begun at Duke University. Dr. Seli will run those who self-identify as being on the "right" or "left" can express more compassion and understanding to "the other side" after therapeutic sessions of psilocybin.

    “In our upcoming work, we’re exploring how psychedelics may impact cognitive rigidity—including the kind seen in political partisanship. If these compounds can momentarily disrupt entrenched identity narratives, they could open new possibilities for treating not just trauma, but the cognitive inflexibility that underlies many modern social and psychological disorders.”

McGill University

Unlocking Psilocybin’s Effects on Self-Esteem and Resilience
In partnership with McGill and CQDM, we sponsor the research of Dr. Rosemary Bagot, whose lab investigates how psilocybin enhances neural circuits linked to self-reward and self-worth. Her team has identified plasticity in medial prefrontal cortex pathways that may explain psilocybin’s profound impact on mood and motivation. This foundational research may lead to novel treatments for depression, trauma, and addiction grounded in neurobiological self-esteem repair.

    “We’re beginning to understand how psilocybin restores access to positive self-concepts—and it’s rooted in measurable brain circuit changes.”
    — Dr. Rosemary, McGill University
