James Kuo, M.D. the Vice President of R&D for Silo Pharma (SILO) will speak at the 3rd Annual Psychedelic Therapeutics and Drug Development Conference.
Dr. Kuo’s presentation is titled ‘The Ketamine Endgame.’
He chose the Ketamine Endgame name for his presentation, after a recent article in the NY Times which described ketamine as a ‘Cure,’ in their headline, a word not very often used for medical therapies and even less so on Wall Street.

Chris Gathman, 40, has lived with chronic depression, a condition that runs in his family, for most of his life until he underwent Ketamine treatment.
“I woke up the next day and felt completely normal,” he said about his first IV infusion, administered at Ketamine Health Centers. “I didn’t feel depressed at all.” Mr. Gathman then persuaded his parents to seek out the therapy at the same clinic for their depression, and they both reported immediate relief as well.
