Who I am

I am a German Biopsychologist and I do neuropharmacological research on serotonergic hallucinogens (aka psychedelics or entheogens).

If you are interested in how I found my way into psychedelic research, feel invited to have a read through a recent interview I gave to the Amsterdam Psychedelic Research Association (APRA).

My CV

I graduated in Psychology (Dipl. Psych.) at the Otto-von-Guericke University (OvGU) 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 Biology, discipline Neuroscience at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Magdeburg with primary supervision by Prof. Dr. med. Volker Höllt. My PhD research addressed the behavioural and molecular biological correlates of tolerance to LSD, DMT, and DOB. In 2016, I started to work as an Individual Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Laboratory for neuronal circuit dynamics (LNCD) at Imperial College London. Here, my research has been devoted to the relevance of  cortical pyramidal cells and peripyramidal haemodynamics for the mechanism of action of serotonergic hallucinogens.
