AWAKN’s SAB provides strategic scientific counsel as the company implements its vision and strategy across three business lines of clinical research, therapeutic clinics and practitioner training.

Through this synergy, and their vision, AWAKN have the potential to rapidly transform the field, and to oversee the realisation of these compounds as the medicines they richly deserve to be. It’s a great privilege to be a part of this.”
Dr. Ben Sessa, AWAKN CMO, commented, “Celia Morgan has been a long-time friend and colleague whom I respect and admire; from her earliest days when she conducted highly unique and creative research observing real-life ketamine users in their homes in London, to her latest project; spearheading the UK’s largest clinical trial with ketamine psychotherapy for the treatment of alcoholism. Her interests align perfectly with those of us at AWAKN; using psychedelics not purely as pharmacological agents or for managing wellness issues in non-clinical populations; but rather using these important drugs in combination with psychotherapy to develop the best therapies for our worthy patients. She will be a valuable addition to our team, and we are grateful to have her aboard. Welcome Celia!”
