Synapse: Psychedelic Research Database

Literature review can be a daunting task, specially for an underdeveloped discipline like psychedelic science in Puerto Rico. This project aims to develop a psychedelic literature database. Using machine learning & AI methods, we hope to accelerate the development of new research products by facilitating literature reviews for researchers in Puerto Rico.

Early career mentorship

Careers in psychedelic research seem unobtainable by many early career scientists. The War on Drugs and excessive criminalization made these substances difficult to fund and research. We want to help change that by offering mentorship and research opportunities to early career scientists.
