A truly momentous day in the history of treatments for #schizophrenia as KarXT becomes the first truly new mechanism approved in >70 years. Here’s to a new generation of better medicines for those experiencing this mental health condition. @PhrenixTx @Neuromedicines

FDA approves first schizophrenia drug with a new mechanism of action since the 1950s tinyurl.com/34ceshw4 Karuna/Bristol Myers Squibb’s KarXT (Cobenfy), which acts on M1/M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, expands the treatment landscape beyond dopamine-targeted drugs

NIH leaders reconfirm commitment to basic science: elifesciences.org/articles/102368 @eLife


Mental health care IS health care 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I've never felt there was a difference between a physical injury and a mental illness. Folks, it's all health. Plain and simple. And today's new rule ensures insurance plans treat both types of care equally.



Great to have these conversations! Incredible to be able to share the journey of @PhrenixTx, and be a part of growing the culture of collaboration, translation & commercialization @TheFlorey @MIPS_Australia @UniMelbMDHS #BrainResearch #MentalHealthTreatments #Impact

Thank you @Florey_postdoc and @TheFlorey Enterprise and Innovation team for a fantastic lineup of speakers in a panel talking about commercialization and engaging with #industry. @Danscooter @ClareParish2 @jess_nithi and @florey CEO @PetervanWijnga2
