A major challenge of working in the psychedelic study arena is that studies of hallucinogenic molecules require meticulous resourcing, design, and execution.

MAC Clinical Research has been working on the design and execution of functional psychiatry studies for over 30 years and has developed a strong and safe clinical offering to overcome the typical challenges encountered in these studies. We have developed an infrastructure to provide seamless delivery of full-service drug programs for complex CNS trials. From early-stage development—provided by our MHRA accredited early phase neuroscience centre of excellence—through to late-phase research study protocols delivered across our network of fully equipped, dedicated and experienced late-phase research centres. MAC’s translational medicine group is developing and validating a variety of psychedelic treatment protocols.
