For our founders, Lady Amanda Feilding and Cosmo Feilding Mellen, psychedelic medicines have been a lifelong and intergenerational vocation.
Amanda has dedicated over 50 years to the scientific exploration of psychedelics in the belief that modern science can be used to understand, validate, and optimise the healing potential of psychedelic medicines. In 1998 Amanda set up (and continues to run) the Beckley Foundation, a non-profit NGO focused on evidence-based drug policy reform and scientific research into psychedelic medicines.
Over the last 20 years the Beckley Foundation has become a world-famous pioneer in psychedelic research. Amanda has been dubbed “the hidden hand” behind the renaissance in psychedelic science, featured on the Guardian’s list of the Bravest Men and Women in the History of Science, and has personally co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed scientific publications on the subject, many with ground-breaking results.
Beckley Psytech was created to build upon the Foundation’s work by developing safe and effective psychedelic medicines for patients in need and integrating these treatments into mainstream medical practices.
Beckley Psytech has a close strategic partnership with the Beckley Foundation and, in addition to its own pipeline, will provide financial and technical support to develop the Foundation’s most promising research. The company is committed to improving the lives of patients in need and will donate a share of future revenues to fund the non-profit work of the Foundation.
