PROF. DAVID NUTT
Professor Nutt has been a pioneering force in psychopharmacology for over thirty years. He’s published more then 500 original research papers and 34 books on a wealth of topics in psychiatry, from his early work in sleep studies to his more famous interventions in drug policy and the study of addiction.

In the early 2000’s, while working as the chair of the UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, Professor Nutt was tasked with outlining a 25-year roadmap for the future of alcohol. While working on this project he introduced the notion of a safer, synthetic alternative to alcohol.

As an expert on the ways alcohol interacts with the body and brain, Professor Nutt realised that it could be possible to isolate the mechanism we associate with the desirable effects of alcohol—relaxation, increased sociability, improved mood—from the negative effects.

Whilst initially focused on a purely synthetic alternative to alcohol, Professor Nutt and the team at GABAlabs decided to look for viable compounds in nature.
