Welcome, everyone. This is a psychedelic invest podcast on protect felt. I’m your host, our guest today is Jason hein. He is Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia. He’s also CEO of telescope innovations, and we’re going to talk to them about the work they’re doing in psychedelics. And the approach they’re taking a fairly interesting and different approach. Fascinated by this, I think the whole world of psychedelics is both kind of this question of, you know, how do we really understand what these molecules do? And how can help people in different therapeutic modes, but also how do we actually build a business or build an industry around this in terms of production and providing these things at real scale, as we really think about the possibilities here are quite extensive, and can be quite big. And so figuring out how to create really a production industry supply chain distribution is going to be part of this industry growing and telescope is certainly involved in figuring some of those pieces out. So I’m excited for this conversation. With that. Jason, welcome to the program.

Thank you very much, really appreciate it. Thanks for having us.

Yeah, pleasure. Before we dive into everything that’s going on today, with telescope and the work that you’ve been doing UVC give us a little background was your professional background. How did psychedelics come up? Give us the story.

Yeah, absolutely. So my background is actually in synthetic organic chemistry, we make things I like to tell my parents that I’m a glorified chef, right, we figure out how to put molecules together and control synthesis really with a spin towards manufacturing. So it’s not just you know, how do we make the molecule once it’s about doing it day in day out with control at scale, really in service to the pharmaceutical industry. So my my background started there. And one of the biggest things we identified in my research program is there’s a massive need for doing this better doing this cleaner doing this faster. And that’s where my background in in sort of things like automation AI, and these other tools were brought to bear around this. And we’ve had some massive successes there, that the piece around psychedelics came up because we’ve seen this is a one of those cases where answering the question, as you mentioned about supply chain is a big unanswered challenge. If this is not just, you know, finding the right molecule, but how we use it, how we supply it, and how we do that, effectively. How do we do that for the entire panacea of sort of treatments we’re going to be entertaining, requires some major focus and doing that, you know, this is potentially a schedule molecule that’s going to have to have certain kinds of restrictions around it doing that safely, is a big unanswered challenge. And this is where our toolkit, specifically for the kind of molecules we’re looking at is really well designed. The the AI and automation platform allows us to basically navigate the pathway, the research pathway to figuring out a manufacturing challenge faster than a lot of other sort of traditional routes. So this became the rallying cry, you know, we have this toolkit, we have this unanswered need. That’s, that’s very helpful from the perspective of, you know, medical and human events. Let’s go for it. Right, that this is a great proof of concept for our chemical technology.

And I guess, how does this relate to how pharmaceutical industry traditionally does this with you know, early stage research on molecules and then scaling these things up to you know, really supplying them at a, you know, industry level, like, give us a little compare and contrast to what traditionally happens?

For sure. Like, imagine the sort of the story arc that goes into finding a molecule and then taking it out to something that’s being distributed? You know, there’s a lot of searching for what is the right molecule early and and the tools we use to do that. And the questions we ask, are completely different than the questions are necessary for okay, this is the right molecule, how do we manufacture it reliably every day of the week? And because of that, what you often see in the sort of pharmaceutical split space is a lot of time going into what might be the right molecule, and then many, many months, years later, in terms of okay, that’s our molecule, we begin to ask the questions of, okay, how do we actually manufacture and produce it? And what happens sometimes is there are molecules that show up on the dock of this could be a great drug, but it’s simply feasibly not practical to manufacture especially with the route that was that was originally chosen. So it means great, we did all this time and effort to find the compound. Yeah. Now we got to start again. And it’s it’s this this culture and again, it makes sense, right? The problem is, imagine what you’re doing is you’re trying to figure out a place, where do I need to go? There’s two things you have to identify. What is your target? Like? Do I want to go to Calgary, you want to go to Toronto and Edmonton. That gives you your goal. And that’s what we do with early phase bio screening is find our target. The next question is, well, how do I get there? I’m gonna take the Trans Canada, I’m gonna go take the Yellowhead. Has there been a road or a landslide? How much gas? Do I have? All those questions are couple, they’re important for your target, but usually not as important as where do I go first? So you have these two competing research questions, you know, where am I going? And how do I get there? And the problem right now is those are kind of different camps. So what we do is, we use these tools that allow us to navigate to understand what’s happening inside a reaction to really accelerate that. How do I get there? Question once the target is identified? Were some of the best that can figure out how do I go from where I am to where I need to get to because we’re understanding the system. The way I like to say it is the tools we’ve built is equivalent to having GPS. If you imagine that, you know before, if I’m going to some location, this is my my goal. You print out your Mapquest you you look at your street signs, and you’re sort of you’re you’re on the fly figuring it out. Now what we can do is no real time, where are we? What do we need to do? And how do we get there by bust out your smartphone and look at it right, and that that’s hugely enabling, you know, psychedelics, the spaces is where we’re targeting first, but the platform we’re building has implications across the anything you need to build right in any type of thing in the pharma space gives us gives us sort of striking distance.

So does this I guess I’m curious, do you frame this as being a better way to figure out navigation or a better way to figure out destinations?

Mainly navigation? I’d say, the thing is that there’s there’s two parts, like absolutely, today, we are the sort of navigation space, that’s what we have our strength, and we can demonstrate value and capacity and that today, but it also changes this way. And you know, the other again, back to sort of destination analysis, if you understand how to get a place, a destination, it fundamentally changes what you think you can do. You know, if there’s a if there was a target, that you’re thinking, oh, there’s no way we’ll get there, we’re not even going to entertain it. Well, you know, what, if we look at it, there is a possibility, we will find a route which makes that molecule striking distance again. So it actually opens like one feeds the other having good routes to know molecules that’s today. But having the ability to lay up roots that we didn’t even think were possible opens up possibility in the target space again.

Yeah, it’s almost kind of like we’ve discovered this really amazing highway. Let’s, let’s see what yeah, interesting destinations are along the way that we could actually make some value out of,

and would never be possible without it right. Having that ability to navigate it opens up your you know, we didn’t know that we could fly to the moon. Well, yeah, that’s that’s the technology lift that gets us there.

Yeah. And what are I mean, I, you know, I’m happy to get a pretty detailed if we want are pretty decorative ones, like, what are these kinds of navigation challenges? I mean, this is this is about how to, you know, construct kind of components of these molecules? Is it the transformation processes? Is it keeping the scenes stable over time? Like, what, what do you actually have to kind of grapple with when you’re looking at creating a process of production for these molecules that are really industry level?

Yeah, there’s really two, I think, big challenges. One is, when you mix things together, when you do a chemical synthesis, and again, the the baking analogy is pretty close. Right? What you do is you’re you’re mixing together components, and you’re allowing them to react with each other. And we have, you know, many years of history, knowing about predictions of how when I mix things together, what I will get out the other side, that’s the basis of chemical understanding manufacturing. The problem is, you know it for we have a kind of a route to understanding of if I mix compounds, A, B and C, this is what they should do, or my intent. But let’s say I’m hoping a reaction is a reacts with B. And then after some time b reacts with C, it’s a little assembly process. We’re not that lucky. Sometimes a reacts with C, sometimes a reacts with a sometimes a lot of other stuff happens. So the basic, simple, you know, building block Lego example putting molecules together doesn’t hold because when you put things in a flask, everything reacts with everything, right? Yeah. So what we having this ability to visualize what is happening allows us to kind of gain back that simplistic idea of you know, what if I control the temperature at this time, or when I add what component back to baking, if I put flour in first and then water and then my egg, the order you do that addition changes fundamentally what you get out and we have the ability to see what is happening as I do each one of those interaction events. That’s number one, we can see inside a process far better than what is out there. And why that hasn’t the manufacturing implication is once I know what that recipe is, and more importantly, the tool allows me to guide it, I can reliably go to a manufacturing site and say, Look, if you see this, this blinking light shows up your GPS tells you You made a left turn, go back and do something else we can change and we can adapt. So instead of you know, throw it all together and hope you get a cake every single time we have a temperature probe, we have all these other bits and pieces that look inside that baking process that says, You know what, you got to bump up your temperature, wait five more minutes, add a little bit more salt. And it’s that that dynamic capacity to how you do your manufacturing, that means that we will land in the right place every single time. Right, and that that means that again, for confidence interval, some of the biggest decisions we make about do we make a gram or do we make 10 kilograms or 1000 kilograms comes back to the question of Do I understand this process? Well enough to take that risk?

Yeah, if you’re baking a cake, 100 pound cake that’s very different than if you’re baking 12?

Yeah. And if you if you know what you’re doing, and you know what’s happening, you can adapt hotter, often colder temperature longer time.

Yeah. So how I’m going to show how does the robotics and the AI play into this? I mean, I could kind of conceptually see how it plays out. But well, how are you really leveraging these technologies, to to help drive this process?

So the biggest thing is, number one, control, right? So if we’re sitting there and saying, Look, I need to understand what happens when the robotics means that I have the ability to have a system, which is working 24/7, doing the kinds of experiments with precision that I know and understand, I’m not relying on a team of scientists that if they have to look at this reaction, or sample it for every five minutes for three days, I’m not asking a student to do that, right. This is building a system that has that capacity to do accurate, repetitive things in the same way that you’d see in factory automation. Right? That’s one, so it’s reproducibility and basically just manpower on this. The second though, is, is that decision making component we’re not doing clockwork automation where, you know, take flask over here at five minutes, if you imagine, you know, the sort of the Lucy baking kind of videos, you can imagine that if an automated system gets out of sync, it turns from a beautiful sort of orchestrated series of events to total chaos very quickly. The AI component is the if this, then that, right? So it’s the ability to look at a system and make decisions based on what we understand about what I need to do as best case interrogation. Next, right? It’s no different than a self driving car. You know, if you imagine your Tesla or whatever, you don’t tell your Tesla how to get to your goal by saying, all right, I want you to point your, your wheels in this direction. And then thrusters

way, three degrees to the right, yeah, right. Like those the sequence

of steps, if you tried to program a route based on a sequence of steps, you would kill everybody on the way, right? What we’re doing is we’re saying you need to go there. And I want you to obey the speed limit. I want you to not hit people, and I want you to stop at stop lines, when it happens. You’re giving them rules and conditions. And the AI’s job is to say, well, these are my this is what I can do. This is how I want to do it. My goal, my intent, and I will I will navigate that space. So that’s the best analogy to it.

Yeah. And I guess where are you in terms of, you know, actually developing this bringing it to market? You know, we’re working, you know, with companies that want these things manufactured? I mean, give me a sense of kind of the ultimate business model, and where are you in executing? Sure, sure.

So like our go to market was, we looked at the synthesis of molecules, specifically in the tryptamine space, targeting things like psilocybin and psilocybin adjacent kind of molecules, as our chemical challenge, that was our landscape. And the goal we put down is we need a better reliable, and potentially fully IP patentable space to those molecules. Because these are actually well known. They’re out in the literature for many years. So coming up with a novel manufacturing route that is better than as entertained, but also something that a company could wholly own is critical, because there’s no there’s it’s very difficult to create a value proposition if anybody can do what you can do. So we wanted to create value there, and to help open up the access to these compounds by shortening the synthesis make it better, right? So that’s our target, how we did it. We take our toolkit, the AI and automation and what would normally be many, many years of careful plotting, okay, is this synthesis good? Does it hit the target? Can we actually automate manufacturing like this, we took what would be a number of years of optimization, and we contracted that to about a year and a half. So because of the toolkit and enabling kit, we have now we have threaded that whole process, we’ve come up with our route. And we’ve we’re in the process of converting that route to our full PCT application later this later this month. And that’s sort of our first proof of concept. The automation tools allowed us to navigate the space and deliver on our promise of a better route to these tryptamines. So the next step now is some of the molecules in our in our wheelhouse we can make more of them. We know we can manufacture we know they’re sort of GMP synthesis ready, which is already a massive lift, right? Like with the team size we have and the time that we have, we’ve dramatically contracted with that. A research timeframe would have been, but also we’ve made along the way molecules which are utterly new, never been entertained. And those are really valuable potential next generation compounds for all kinds of things in the five HCT kind of Cascade cascade, and that’s where we’re beginning to look into the biologicals activity of these compounds now,

is your ultimate model manufacturing? Are you going to be licensing technology for other people to then build out manufacturing capabilities,

we’re definitely focusing on the licensing side of things like manufacturing capacity is something we’re working with partners, I don’t think we will be sort of the main synthesis house. But what we the way I look at it is, if you today, and this is the call to to the community, if you have a molecule that you need access to that scale is the problem that that getting there is the problem, we are your partners of choice, we will help you figure out what that route is we can help you enable and the tools that you need to sort of bolt onto your process and we can we can get you there better faster than that’s out there now.

And talk to me about the relationship you have with the research side with UBC admin, how has that played out or what what has been the process for getting the research done, you know, setting up new entities, you know, moving IP and rights and stuff, like give me some insights on how that really works for you.

So they’ve they’ve been massively supportive, right? Like the the nice thing is, this is proof of concept, the how we do things is kind of what generated it on my lab, and UBC, has actually just recently signed over IP around this to to actually fully owned inside inside telescope. So the route itself, while it was sort of built as part of our partnership is now fully assigned over to to UBC as of about a month ago. And what this also entertains is really, these are two sides of the same coin. The UBC side is asking the question of how does this research position itself in terms of a fundamental question, telescope is focused on how do we apply this for the betterment of this entire field. And that’s very different. It’s a very different need than what UBC is entertaining. And that’s actually why they’ve been very supportive. They they understand that, you know, graduate students are great at understanding the question around what do we do? But how do we actually reduce this to practice in a business forming point is exactly what telescopes adapters supposed to be for? They’ve been very supportive on this point, and couldn’t be happier.

Yeah. And tell me about the team. And I mean, I’m always as a strategic coach, right? I help companies with the growth process. But the key part around any of that is getting the right people in place. How have you gone about the process of just conceptualizing like? What roles what kind of skills and capabilities you’re going to need in a company? And then how has that played out in terms of finding the right people?

Yeah, absolutely. So honestly, a lot of it started originally, as a kind of was a proven proto business model with my lab, right? The people that we were growing in training there had the kind of diversity of interdisciplinary skills necessary to build the tool, apply the tool, do the chemistry, and those are not the same person. Those are sort of a cadre of people that

you find a unicorn that actually has all of those things.

Absolutely not, nobody see that the unicorn part of it. And actually, this is where honestly, 15 years in the in the academic space, the background here has been understanding the capacity where people have those strengths, but more importantly, building the Rosetta Stone of communication between these very disparate fields. So you know, mechatronics, and automation, chemical engineering, computer science are not usually it sounds like a bad joke, right? Like mechatronic, engineer, computer scientist and a chemical engineer go into a bar. They don’t usually talk to each other. It’s not the same language, right. But what what we have done my main, sir, I guess, when is sitting down with those groups, and aligning look, the problem you have solved here is the global challenge in this orthogonal field. And you guys just need to talk to each other at the interface. And that’s been the winner. So a lot of our team right now is actually populated based on people I’ve trained in those different areas. So mechatronics, computer science and chemical engineering. We’ve also had a really good when we’re here in Vancouver, we have a very strong base of trained in the sort of early life science type parks, we’ve been able to retain and recruit some people directly from from that as well. So we’re a team of about 15 people now, which, which covers each of these different pieces. And, you know, again, it’s that coupled to the toolkit we have, we have a electrical force multiplier, we may only be 15 people, we do have our own sort of our own four walls, lab space, we were able to launch out of out of campus. So we do have our own site facility. But but it’s that very small bubble that lets us do something at a much larger scale than the normal would be necessary for for that it’s kind of fts.

And if you look out to three years, like where, where do you envision the organization in terms of capacity size? What would be some of the key goals from going to market?

Yeah, it’s hard to say physical number of FTEs. I think that’s gonna be driven primarily based on what kind of partnerships we flag in this next phase, right? Like I would not consider us a service organization. Definitely. Who which targets we go after will will naturally guide the kind of boots on the ground we’re going to need. I would say that middle of next year, we’re actually expanding to a 3000 square foot space, so we’re actually going to be growing up again. And we have a series of different partnerships that we’re building out. First, again, continuing on this space entertained in this remanufacturing psilocybin space. But secondly, the toolkit we have, you know, this route automation is a massive business vertical. So in within that we’ve been talking with a couple of major instrument manufacturers to say, look, how else do we take this kit, instead of being, you know, stuff that we have that we use internally? How do we actually push this out broadly to the pharma industry? How is it something that other people that want to do this kind of early stage research could potentially use? So it’s really these two vectors, though, the how we do is going to be in the instrumentation and really growing that space. And secondly, having that capacity internally means we can attack these difficult chemical problems. And it’s going to be those two things, we kind of continue on next couple years.

Yeah. And then we guess, where do you see some of these molecules? The compounds kind of developing? We’ve been talking about psilocybin, are there other ones that are out there that you’re investigating? Or I think could be on your roadmap for areas of investigation?

Oh, for sure. Like, you know, there’s so two things. One is, just recently, there was a really strong vice article about compass pathways and the current challenges that they have to their, to their IP, right, the there’s been a massive sort of run at, Look, you guys are using a molecule that’s been known in the space for many, many, many years. You can’t own this, right. And there’s a great conversation around that. So where we see that we have a value here is no indeed, you know, if you’re targeting psilocybin, and you’re saying that that is your molecule go to that’s kind of like single, salty, salty, so I get priority to it. That’s difficult. The thing is like psilocybin is fantastic, we’re seeing great sort of abilities on it, but it’s not the one and done, you know, the panacea of different neuro treatments, we need means we need a toolkit, based on other molecules in this space, that’s fantastic, we were actually able to even go there now with the changes in, in sort of litigation and culture, that we can begin to open this toolkit and say what else is under this hood, and it’s really the to the route that we have envisioned, allows us to access everything in that kind of space, to say, look, the next molecule, not psilocybin, but but some of the derivative is actually within our striking distance today, and then I think that’s a major piece that will start to grow out is these other compounds with tuned activity to depression, pain, and the other kind of adjacent are going to be really exciting. So it’s great to be at the forefront of that. Second thing, too, is molecules like cadmium, and these other components that have been just, you know, I have never seen some of the bio data about where these, these therapies can can help us with as much promise. But again, it means carefully using it in the right spaces, possibly entertaining different molecules similar to this to really fine tune where it works and for whom it works, right. This isn’t this is not, oh, I have a headache, you take an aspirin, right? This is, what is your problem? What is right for you? And how do we customize a therapeutic and a treatment regime to your needs?

Yeah, I mean, a couple of questions. So one, you know, how much of the, you know, looking for new compounds is kind of economic driven versus therapy driven, meaning like, we’re looking for new things that could address new issues or issues in different ways, versus companies that are looking to, you know, find a kind of tweak on something that they can sort of protect, or they could build a business around? I think that’s I mean, I’m always curious about that, because I think there’s two competing forces here, right? There’s the therapeutic like finding new therapies, but then there’s also the economic like, I want to create something I can bring to market and make money on. Oh, for sure,

for sure. And I think that where we stand today is we’re very much in the ladder, right? Like we’re looking at known proven assays that says, if I take this, this is the potential clinical outcome, in which case it’s driven heavily on I want to make my version of that that is tweaked or better in that therapeutic assay today, so it is sort of more ladder on the, we need something that becomes an economic driver. However, what’s great about it, you see this across the space as soon as we understand what we are chasing, I mean, we as a field, once you start to ask questions is, wait a minute, what about if we do this combined therapy with these other components? What new novel indication Can I now target? That’s the secondary part where therapeutic driving comes, but those always have to come later? Because okay, my, the stuff we do is actually rapid turnover, right? I can make a new molecule very quickly asking what happens about getting a molecule into clinical space over many years, that doesn’t get accelerated very quickly. That’s still something that takes time into it. So in any of these spaces that start to lead off will naturally start with a driver around refinement of known activity. And that’s what I think we’re in that very early threshold today. But then as the field starts to mature, what we begin to understand because we’re getting data the whole time of where else can we pivot this and How does that broadly go? But you can’t lead with that? Because, you know, it’s like saying, Hey, I invented gasoline, well, where’s the engine? One innovation has to lead the other. And I think we’re right at that Ryzen of beginning to see the sort of thing come over. And the catalyst, right is the ability to, as I said, turn to a class of compounds that had been unknowable. Right? And that’s, that’s the real excitement part of this personally.

Yeah, from a really market development point of view, like what else needs to happen? Like, get the there’s all this possibility, we’re looking at, you know, having some really innovation ideas around how we can solve some of these, you know, hard to solve problems, and, you know, in medicine and mental health, but you know, we have regulatory issues, we’ve got infrastructure, we’ve got, you know, companies actually provide therapeutic services, like, what is going to be? Where do you see potential pinch points in actually developing the industry, like, we could have all these great molecules, but if we don’t have the systems to actually provide them to folks in a therapeutic environment like that, that’s going to limit the industry where, where do you see these pinch points?

So three points, right. So number one, is just the ability to conduct these early phase clinical trials and good sharing the data of what’s working between different space, I think the the bigger one is getting this out into therapeutic context. And having people that are willing to take that that kind of early early scope is sort of number two, though, the one that’s sort of the linchpin to both right, is this manufacturing point, and the ability to access reliably the quantities that are necessary to kind of to both feed, what is the larger scale scale of of that therapeutic, but also, you know, talk back to the small molecule development, which ones we do, which are compounds that are possible, with every one of these, these kind of components, right, as regulatory regulations open up that says, This is what we can take, and this is what we can use, you need these three corners actually working closely together, right? If any one of those three pillars lags effectively, what you get is an off balance point, and then there’s a possibility that the the acceleration in the spacecraft slows down. So this is, you know, I think we’re, I’m most interested in stepping into here is as a third kind of triangle in a partnership with the other two. Right, so I think it’s up to everybody that’s working to the space to, to actually grow this working laterally, right, that each of us, again, understanding, we are not all the one unicorn, we all have something to say here. And if this is going to be something that we want him to work on, it’s requires us to, to reach across and to represent those three pieces very, very effectively.

Yeah, yeah. I’m always curious, you know, as as a, you know, CEO running this kind of high growth company that obviously have a lot of moving pieces, you know, they CEOs that I work with, it’s it’s always a challenge to figure out kind of where to focus how to spend your time where to apply yourself versus delegating, having other people do things, like what has been your personal focus? And how is that kind of I guess, shifted a little bit as you’ve moved from? What sounds like more of a kind of a research kind of context to more of a commercial context? Like what have you had to kind of shift and change and focus your kind of time and effort? And,

yeah, I think, like you said, this is all about looking at what the what the gas in the tank is, and making sure that we’re making good decisions. So that that we get to whatever our target objective is, I think, number one is we have to set a very strong value set, and that that has remained unchanged, right? We are, we are functionally decam. Tech towards growth in manufacturing. So never change that point. Don’t change your DNA. The thing that helps us guide which projects to take on honestly comes down to as we say, we’re starting to talk about this partnership space, discussing with people about what their value set is, and go back to your previous conversation. Why are you in this space is actually been the biggest guidance for us, when we sit down with a group and say like, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? And where do you position yourself? We’re trying to align yourself very strongly not with the, this is fast and easy. But look, we’re trying to build something right. This is not about a quick run, it was run to it, we’re understanding the their value sets in these other companies. That’s what I’ve been using as a major compass. Right. It’s been the basis for my research since I started in this point. I can say right now the decisions we make are primarily based on look if we’re gonna put our time and energy into this point, you know, sure, what’s the short short piece to it, but it’s got to have a horizon that’s pushing back your next project. Right. And this is, this is actually one of the advantages of coming from an academic background, we, we only exist in that the group has been a successful group that’s grown from, you know, people to 30 to 45 person group, because of this kind of a philosophy you know, don’t just think about you know, what’s your dinner today, but everything has to be an investment in who you’re building and your capacity in order to be to be there next year. Right. For people that don’t know inside the sort of academic granting space it is a brutal it is you have to try to exist you have to always make a case for why you’re doing what you’re doing and you have to stay close to those values people’s that turn too quickly. The community rejects and very quickly, you know, experts that have grown to what they are only there because they’re trying to be more than they are today. Right? It’s good camper mentality.

Oh But Jason has been a pleasure. If people want to find out more about you more about telescope, what’s the best way to get that information?

Yeah, so we have a website telescope innovations.com.
