Solvonis Therapeutics (SVNS): CSO Professor David Nutt on Solvonis' Approach to Resetting the Addicted Brain

In this special episode of the WTR Healthcare Happenings podcast, the second in a two-part series, Professor David Nutt, Chief Science Officer of Solvonis Therapeutics (LSE: SVNS), talks to host Tim Gerdeman and WTR analyst Robert Sassoon about addiction and why he believes Solvonis' novel approach offers potentially better solutions than are currently available. The discussion also covers persistently low AUD treatment penetration, the favorable UK regulatory and reimbursement outlook versus US payer dynamics, how ketamine compares with emerging GLP-1 and psilocybin approaches, and the advantages of Solvonis' AI-enabled drug discovery platform. Finally, Nutt shares his thoughts on where the US federal addiction-research community actually is on psychedelic-assisted treatment for AUD and stimulant use disorder, following his recent presentation at the NIH ( National Institutes of Health) CRAN (Collaborative Research on Addiction) joint council as the sole external speaker on psychedelic therapy for addictions.
