("Shortwave" or "the Company")

Pre-Crowdfunding Campaign to Support Groundbreaking Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa

Shortwave Life Sciences PLC, a UK-based biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative treatments for life-threatening mental health disorders, is excited to announce the pre-launch of its crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube. This initiative seeks to accelerate the Company's mission to revolutionise treatment for anorexia nervosa, a devastating condition with no FDA-approved pharmaceutical solutions.

Key Highlights

●    Groundbreaking Approach: Shortwave's psilocybin-based combination drug and proprietary buccal film delivery platform aim to dramatically improve patient outcomes for anorexia nervosa.

●    Strategic Partnership: Collaboration with Sheba Medical Center, Israel's leading treatment facility for eating disorders, supports Shortwave's Phase 1 clinical trials and research efforts.

●    Innovation in Drug Delivery: The mucoadhesive buccal film platform offers superior absorption, bypassing traditional challenges in drug delivery for anorexia patients.

●    Visionary Milestones: Funds raised will propel the Company toward completing pre-clinical trials, launching Phase 1 human trials, and advancing its IP and pipeline development.
