Why We Partner

How Partnerships Drive Us Forward

Partnerships that help move 5-MeO-DMT
from evidence to safer standards of care.

The FIVE Institute partners with other educational institutions, research studies, clinical trial teams and policy initiatives to ensure the full therapeutic and scientific potential of 5-MeO-DMT is responsibly realized.

The FIVE Institute’s research partnerships span naturalistic and clinical studies conducted with institutional partners and extend into advisory support for clinical and pharmaceutical development. The expertise of leading researchers, clinicians, and legacy practitioners, paired with data and real-world evidence, drives new training, educational content, protocol design, and product development pathways, so the compound reaches the world safely and responsibly.

Research & Education Partners

We welcome research collaborations, education partnerships, and media inquiries related to 5-MeO-DMT.

In collaboration with academic institutions and research organizations, including Imperial College London and University College London (UCL), the Institute conducts naturalistic and clinical studies of 5-MeO-DMT and provides advisory support for clinical and pharmaceutical development.

The Institute also delivers harm reduction education to academic institutions, organizations, and companies in the psychedelic sector. Its work, together with that of its sister company, Tandava Retreats, has received coverage in leading international media.

01 Clinical & Pharmaceutical

Advisory for Drug Development

The FIVE Institute advises clinical and pharmaceutical development programs, grounded in real world evidence.

Drug-development teams working with 5-MeO-DMT face questions no dataset answers better than real-world practice: dosing behavior, screening criteria, adverse-event patterns, and integration needs. The FIVE Institute provides advisory support for clinical and pharmaceutical development.

Research
Partnerships

From the world’s first EEG study to pharmaceutical advisory, trial design and more, collaboration is how the evidence keeps growing.

The FIVE Institute’s 5-MeO-DMT research partnerships pair academic rigor with The FIVE Institute’s protocols to maximize outcomes. Our collaboration with UCL produced the world’s first 5-MeO-DMT EEG study conducted in retreat settings, examining how the compound alters brain dynamics and subjective experience. Partnerships continue to shape how the field measures and understands 5-MeO-DMT states.
