As CMO, Dr. Mohammed will join InMed's executive management team, and will be directly involved in developing the clinical trial strategy for InMed's lead candidates and product development strategy for the company's pipeline of cannabinoid-based therapies, including its two clinical-stage programs, CTI-085 and CTI-091, and the recently initiated program for epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), INM-750.

"Our recent progress and anticipated advancement of our lead drug candidates have made the creation of the CMO position a corporate priority," commented Craig Schneider, chief executive officer of InMed Pharmaceuticals. "There are very few individuals worldwide who have Dr. Mohammed's level of expertise and direct experience in cannabinoid drug development. We are very fortunate to have been able to attract such a qualified executive to the InMed team."

Dr. Mohammed commented: "Joining InMed at this transformative stage, as the company prepares for clinical development of its lead programs, is the opportunity I had been seeking to continue my passion for bringing cannabinoid therapies to the market. I look forward to leveraging my expertise in support of InMed's exciting drug candidates."
