Lobe Sciences Commences Engineering of Nasal Mist Device

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2020) -  Lobe Sciences Ltd. (CSE: LOBE) (OTC Pink: GTSIF) ("Lobe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged VisionWorks Engineering of San Diego, CA to commence engineering work to complete and test a proof of concept prototype of its nasal mist device.

This is a major milestone towards the ultimate goal for development of effective delivery methods and commercialization. The Company holds several provisional patent applications including for a nasal mist device entitled "Device and Method for the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder".  This device includes a nasal delivery system for administration of pharmaceutical agents such as a psilocybin-derived agent and/or N-acetylcysteine ("NAC") at preselected dosages and times.  The device design allows for the precise control and delivery of medicines through the nasal cavity for faster and more efficient uptake of psychedelics and other medicines that target the brain.  

Tom Baird, CEO of Lobe, states, "The development and advancement of this innovative device will put us at the forefront of delivering effective therapeutics to millions of people who suffer from mild traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues. Development of this device will reimagine the future for PTSD sufferers and radically change the limited treatment options for people who suffer from mTBI and PTSD.  We are excited with the progress being made as we pursue our research initiatives including the recent launch of preclinical studies with the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine."

Paul Seiter, CEO of VisionWorks, said, "This is a great opportunity for LOBE and VisionWorks to develop a device that could dramatically improve the delivery of drugs for brain related therapies.  We are excited to work with the Lobe team to bring this device to the market."
