Opening Remarks and Keynote Speaker
*10:30 -11:30 AM Moderated by Paul Sladkus, with MyungHi S. Lee, this session explores “Health Equity and Human Rights in Ibogaine access for Americans”, focusing on the evolving public–private sector partnership model supporting Ibogaine treatment for veterans and Indigenous and Tribal communities. A central theme is Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) for Intellectual Property—an essential component in the future of Ibogaine and psychedelic-based therapeutics. The presentation highlights emerging global biodiversity initiatives, including the development of natural products extractive libraries that contribute to UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD)–aligned efforts in genomics, chemical data repositories, and carbon-sequestration-linked technologies. These initiatives support Indigenous-led entheogenic agricultural solutions and sustainable development protocols in the United States and across emerging market.
A key focus is KRFI’s Ibogaine IP shareholding model, designed to create royalty-based botanical drug pathways for tropical nations participating in Ibogaine and psychedelic research. This ABS-IP framework advances a sustainable public–private coordinating mechanism for long-term benefit sharing, capacity building, and in-country development. Use Case: Central America. The session will highlight the example of Costa Rica, featuring collaboration between national partners and the KRIBB Extractive Library. This includes the development of ABS-IP platforms for genomics and chemical data silos, private-sector registration pathways, and participation in the Forever Forest Program, which aims to support tropical nations in sustainable biodiversity management and equitable access to the economic benefits of natural products.
*11:30 -12:30 AM “Technology & Innovation: AI, Social Responsibility & the American Ibogaine Initiative” This session will connect Andrew Romero InferenceFrame’s AI infrastructure with the policy and clinical mission of the American Ibogaine Initiative, with MyungHi S. Lee and KRFI Questors. Key discussion areas include:
* AI-enhanced investment frameworks for Ibogaine deployment
* Public–private partnership models supporting mental health reform
* Responsible funding strategies for bipartisan state-level Ibogaine bill
* Ethical scaling, oversight, and corporate social responsibility
* Building national infrastructure for Ibogaine-based mental health interventions
Together, the speakers outline how AI, biotechnology, and responsible investment can accelerate safe, equitable, and evidence-based Ibogaine access for veterans, Indigenous communities, and Americans facing mental health and addiction crises. Andrew Romero leads the development of high-reliability AI at InferenceFrame, where he designs and deploys advanced structured reasoning systems that strengthen decision-making in high-stakes environments. His work centers on Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) approaches that integrate mathematical and logical reasoning, enabling AI systems to perform with greater precision and significantly reduced data requirements. InferenceFrame’s technology has been used to generate actionable insights for companies, investment funds, and research organizations, supported by strategic institutional funding. The company has also established cost-sensitive licensing agreements, allowing scalable access to its reasoning systems. These AI platforms demonstrate strong performance across diverse domains, including:
* Financial markets & capital allocation
* Robotics & autonomous system
* Mathematical and scientific discovery
* Risk assessment and high-stakes decision support
Andrew has also developed a suite of AI-driven investment banking tools, supporting capital structuring, due diligence, and near-automated deal execution. These technologies help reduce operational bottlenecks and increase accuracy in financial decision-making. InferenceFrame’s systems are adopted through partnerships with major FINRA-member firms, including GT Securities, where Andrew serves as Director.
* 12:30 – 2:30 PM Moderated Paul Sladkus, and MyungHi S. Lee, with this session features collaborative framework for an Ibogaine Clinical R&D Alliance focused on FDA/MHRA/EMEA/ANVISA–registered clinical trial reporting and mechanism-of-action research. The discussion highlights the KRFI Questors open-source clinical data platform, designed to address a persistent challenge in psychiatric research: fewer than 10% of clinical studies adequately assess double blinding integrity, as a foundational element of clinical trial design. With transparent, shared, and high-quality data, the field faces limitations in cost efficiency, reproducibility, and the ability to resolve the consequences of unblinding on data interpretation—issues that are especially critical for advancing Ibogaine and psychedelic-based mental health therapeutics. The patient with placebo will experience withdrawal and possible unpredictable adverse reactions for the participants.
Questors aims to establish the Ibogaine & Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I&P CEA-WG). As clinical programs grow in complexity—particularly those integrating psychotherapy with pharmacological interventions—KRFI is convening an Ibogaine and Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I & P CEA-WG). This online data review platform generates reporting by the research institutes with a parallel track on policy and legal advisory group conducted at the P Harvard Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics,. Independent Ibogaine and Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I & PCEA-WG).works with parallel track with online CTMS with institutional partnership and safety and pharmacovigilance and technical platform to aid the institutions, practitioners, and research community.
Current State of the National Ibogaine Consortium endeavors by Bryan Hubbard and Rick Perry Co-founders of the Americans for Ibogaine and its role in a Public–Private Sector Partnership in Ibogaine Clinical Research. The New York State Ibogaine Research Bill Action Plan for January 2026, This announcement aims to address the including:
* Upcoming NYS Senate hearings featuring Ibogaine testimonials
* Coordinated state-level action plans in NYS, Texas, Arizona, Ohio, and Colorado
* Responses from state authorities across the United States
Policy and Mental Health Strategy: The discussion will focus on mental health policy initiatives in New York State, exploring the allocation of $12 billion USD toward mental health and addiction programs. Special emphasis will be placed on the NYS Ibogaine Research Bill, led by Bipartisan Senate sponsors Natalie Rodriguez (D) and Jacob Ashby (R) during the January 2026 Hearing.
