At the FDA, he established the Division of Pharmacometrics, was part of the committee responsible for the 21st Century Review Process and provided input into Prescription Drug User Fee Act planning. Dr. Gobburu received several FDA awards, including the 2001 Outstanding Achievement Award, and was recognized with the Senior Biomedical Research Scientist appointment in 2007. He also received the 2008 Outstanding Leadership Award from the American Conference on Pharmacometrics, the 2008 Tanabe Young Investigator Award from the American College of Clinical Pharmacology ("ACCP") and the 2019 Sheiner-Beal Pharmacometrics Award from the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

    Dr. Melnyk is an expert in manufacturing and regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical and medical device development. She is currently the Senior Regulatory Consultant at Innovalinks, a consulting firm serving the pharmaceutical industry in the quality and regulatory systems, process transfer, and validation and scale-up.

Dr. Melnyk also led the scale-up and licensure of numerous biological products in global markets, including the Salk Polio and component pertussis vaccines. In addition to designing quality systems comprised of good laboratory, clinical and manufacturing practices for biologics, drugs, and medical devices, she oversaw global regulatory approvals of medical devices, natural health products, and medicinal products in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the EU, with numerous successful applications. Dr. Melnyk is a member of the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers, Parenteral Drug Association (Canadian Chapter), and Calibration Validation Group.

    Forward Looking Information

    Certain statements contained herein are "forward-looking statements." Often, but not always, forward-looking statement can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "expected", "scheduled", "estimates", "intends", "anticipates", "hopes", "planned" or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases, or states that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", "potentially" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release include the comments made with respect to the Company's formation and operation of its Regulatory Advisory Board and appointments thereto, advancing the Company's research, including the advancement of the Company's drug candidates from research into clinical trials and any potential commercially viable therapeutic application therefor. FSD cannot give any assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

    Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such material differences include without limitation: the fact that the drug development efforts of both Lucid and FSD BioSciences are at a very early stage; the fact that preclinical drug development is uncertain, and the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences may never advance to clinical trials; the fact that results of preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials may not be predictive of the results of later stage clinical trials; the uncertain outcome, cost, and timing of product development activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; the uncertain clinical development process, including the risk that clinical trials may not have an effective design or generate positive results; the potential inability to obtain or maintain regulatory approval of the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; the introduction of competing drugs that are safer, more effective or less expensive than, or otherwise superior to, the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; the initiation, conduct, and completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials may be delayed, adversely affected, or impacted by COVID-19 related issues; the potential inability to obtain adequate financing; the potential inability to obtain or maintain intellectual property protection for the drug product candidates of Lucid and FSD BioSciences; and other risks. Further information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially are included in the Company's annual and other reports filed from time to time with the Canadian Securities Administrators on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) under the heading "Risk Factors."
