My CV
|
I studied Psychology at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany, and within my Diploma thesis investigated the antidepressant-like properties of LSD in an animal model of depression. Afterwards, I ran my PhD project in Neuroscience at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Magdeburg. My PhD research addressed the behavioural and molecular biological correlates of tolerance to LSD, DMT, and DOB. In June 2016, I started to work as a Marie Curie Fellow at the Imperial College in London. Here, my research is devoted to the relevance of 5-HT2A-glutamate interaction and cortical pyramidal cells for the action of serotonergic hallucinogens.
