Wenthur Lab

The Wenthur Laboratory’s mission is to improve mental healthcare through the development of new therapeutic treatment approaches—specifically those that include opioids, dissociative-hypnotics, psychedelics, and cannabinoids. We are motivated by the staggeringly high reported rates of depression, anxiety, overdose, and suicide, inadequate access to treatment, and the failure of current therapeutic models to meaningfully improve the daily life of those who dearly need it.
