Alexander Shulgin Research Institute

The Alexander Shulgin Research Institute (ASRI) is a non-profit research organization dedicated to the study of psychedelic compounds and their therapeutic potential. Based at the historic Shulgin Farm in California, the institute focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and preservation of novel psychoactive substances, particularly phenethylamines and tryptamines. ASRI continues the legacy of Dr. Alexander Sasha Shulgin by maintaining an extensive chemical archive and providing analytical expertise to the scientific community. The institute's work supports the development of new treatments for mental health conditions such as PTSD and depression through the exploration of structure-activity relationships. It serves as a critical resource for researchers seeking to understand the chemistry and pharmacology of serotonergic compounds.
