Cybin Provides 2021 Year End Summary

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (OTCMKTS: CLXPF), a biopharmaceutical company focused on progressing “Psychedelics to Therapeutics™” is pleased to provide a year-end summary of its major milestones and key catalysts from 2021 that it believes have positioned the Company for a transformative 2022.

2021 was an exciting year for Cybin. We expanded our organization from 5 to more than 55 employees across 4 countries and have established an operating ecosystem of nearly 50 partners and vendors that have supported more than 90 preclinical studies and numerous patent and investigational new drug filings over the past 12 months. Driven by promising and differentiating preclinical data, our innovative operational and R&D pipeline platforms expect to support 4 first-in-human clinical studies in 2022, which we hope will progress our proprietary psychedelic development candidates CYB003 and CYB004 closer toward potential approval for treating depression and addiction disorders. We believe 2022 will be a truly transformative year for Cybin.
