Clerkenwell Health

Clerkenwell Health is an innovative, UK-based mental health start-up building a platform to accelerate patients’ access to a range of psychedelic-assisted therapies over the coming years.

The team is led by CEO Tom McDonald, a former Accenture pharmaceutical specialist with a focus on patient-centric care and CSO Dr Henry Fisher, a chemist and drug policy expert. Patient therapy is led by Dr Sara Tai, a clinical psychologist, a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at the University of Manchester and an expert in psychotherapy in clinical trials of psychedelic medicine. www.clerkenwellhealth.com

“This partnership offers up a rare opportunity to deliver some truly joined up thinking in terms of preclinical and clinical research. Given the potential that psilocybin and related psychedelic compounds present as clinical tools across a range of indications, this is a hugely exciting development for advancing the clinical development process. This partnership will greatly assist companies in this space with accelerating their goal of market approval.” - Clerkenwell Health CSO Henry Fisher

“It’s fantastic to formalise our relationship with such a well-established preclinical testing specialist. Transpharmation’s expertise in the neuroscience and psychedelics field perfectly complements the work we are doing at Clerkenwell and ensures that we can provide our clients with the full suite of CRO services from early stage regulatory advisory through to trial design and delivery at any stage of the drug development life cycle.” - Clerkenwell CEO Tom McDonald

“As a UK-based and scientist-led company, we are proud of our part in keeping the UK at the forefront of this important research area. Importantly, our clients around the world are choosing to work with us and UK companies for the strength of science; our partnership with Clerkenwell itself was enabled by a multi-million dollar international contract. The future for UK bioscience, with benefits to human health and drug discovery, is extremely strong.” - Mark Duxon, CEO Transpharmation
