    Inside Philanthropy’s Role in Mental & Brain Health

    Greg speaks with three leaders in mental health philanthropy: Alyson Nieman from Mindful Philanthropy, Sabrina Gracias from Ortus Foundation, and Christena Huntsman Durham from Huntsman Mental Health Foundation, each offering a distinct perspective on how funding decisions get made and where the biggest gaps remain. In this episode we discuss: Trends in mental health philanthropy, and the 10-year challenge: how the field moves from roughly $2B to $35B in annual funding.Funding the clinic of the future: a $150M philanthropic gift behind the Huntsman Mental Health Institute’s crisis care centerYouth mental health: how the Ortus Foundation is addressing regional gaps in the US Intermountain WestCredits: Created by Greg Kubin and Matias Serebrinsky Host: Greg Kubin Produced by Caitlin Ner & Nico V.

    Rick Perry on paving the way for Ibogaine in America

    Greg interviews Rick Perry, the former Governor of Texas and former U.S. Secretary of Energy and leading advocate for ibogaine, live at the Real Summit. In this episode, we discuss: How a former Texas governor moved from strict opposition to drugs to becoming a leading advocate for ibogaine after firsthand experience and veteran outcomes.Ibogaine’s impact on PTSD, opioid addiction, and traumatic brain injury, including Stanford-linked brain imaging data showing functional and structural improvement.How veterans are the proving ground that enabled Texas to commit $50M in public funding for ibogaine clinical trials.Why ibogaine requires intensive medical supervision and why rigorous trials are essential for legitimacy and scale.A vision where ibogaine reshapes addiction treatment, veteran care, and eventually criminal justice and homelessness policy.Credits: Created by Greg Kubin and Matias Serebrinsky Host: Greg Kubin Produced by Caitlin Ner & Nico V.

  3. Brain Shuttles: A New Path Into the Brain with James Gorman of the Wyss Institute

    ٢٤‏/١١‏/٢٠٢٥

    Brain Shuttles: A New Path Into the Brain with James Gorman of the Wyss Institute

    Matias interviews James (Jim) Gorman MD PhD from the Wyss Institute. Jim is Principal Investigator on the Wyss Institute Brain Targeting Program (BTP). Jim leads a team developing new approaches to transport drugs through the blood brain barrier (BBB) into the CNS. In this episode, we discuss: Why the BBB blocks most modern drugs from entering the brain, creating the biggest bottleneck in neuroHow brain shuttles hijack natural transport pathways like the transferrin receptor to move drugs across the BBBHow new modalities that reach the brain can potentially treat diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and lysosomal disorders Why delivery route of shuttles enable IV or subcutaneous dosing instead of invasive intrathecal injectionsHow early data shows that shuttle-enabled antibodies clear amyloid faster, at lower doses, and with fewer side effectsHow the field is accelerating through a pre-competitive consortium model that lets multiple companies share shuttle platformsCredits: Created by Greg Kubin and Matias Serebrinsky Host: Matias Serebrinsky Produced by Caitlin Ner & Nico V.

    AI and the future of therapy with Luis Voloch of Jimini Health

    Greg and Matias interview Luis Voloch, CEO and Co-Founder of Jimini Health, an AI behavioral health company. He previously co-founded and served as CTO of Immunai, where he applied machine learning to immunology and drug discovery.  In this episode, we discuss:  How LLMs expand the scope of machine learning from rule-based tasks to open-ended reasoning and dialogueWhy healthcare adoption is tiered, beginning with clinician-facing AI scribes and moving toward patient-facing companies with human-in-the-loop to enhance quality of careWhy human oversight is essential and how AI can augment complex clinical work instead of replacing itThe competitive advantage from workflows, data, and trust via purpose built AI systemsThe path toward precision psychiatry, where continuous, language-based interactions can generate rich behavioral data to inform diagnostics, treatment, and drug discoveryCredits: Created by Greg Kubin and Matias Serebrinsky Host: Matias Serebrinsky Produced by Caitlin Ner & Nico V.

    Startups, philanthropy, billionaires, academia, neuromodulation, psychedelics, AI and new therapies in bipolar, autism, and Parkinson’s with Rob Malenka

    Matias interviews Rob Malenka. In this episode, we discuss: Why progress in psychiatry is slow because the brain is the most complex organ and many disorders are highly heterogeneousThe bottlenecks including weak replicability in research, academic politics, perverse incentives, and pharma’s avoidance of neuropsychiatryHow breakthroughs require early detection, rigorous science, and bridging academia with biotech through venture philanthropyHow success depends on mission-driven, ethical people who align science, capital, and patient impact.The opportunities in neuromodulation, data-driven precision medicine, and combination therapies.Credits: Created by Greg Kubin and Matias Serebrinsky Host: Matias Serebrinsky Produced by Caitlin Ner & Nico V.

    Transforming Skin Cells into Neurons to Treat Alzheimer’s with Brendon Boot of Skin2Neuron

    Greg and Matias interview Brendon Boot of Skin2Neuron. Brendon is a neurologist at Harvard and Mayo Clinic with prior experience as Medical Director at Biogen overseeing their Phase 1b Alzheimer’s trials. In this episode, we discuss: How skin-derived cells can be turned into neurons to repair the brain.Why replacing lost neurons may succeed where drugs have failed in Alzheimer’s.What makes autologous (self-derived) cell therapy safer and more effective.How testing in dogs brought stronger proof than traditional mouse models.Why this approach could shift Alzheimer’s treatment from slowing decline to restoring memory.Credits: Created by Greg Kubin and Matias Serebrinsky Host: Matias Serebrinsky & Greg Kubin Produced by Caitlin Ner & Nico V.

    The 4-Hour Sleepers Redefining Human Limits with Ying-Hui Fu of UCSF

    Matias and Greg interview Ying-Hui Fu, PhD, is a Professor of Neurology at UCSF and a world leader in the genetics of sleep.
