RESEARCH TEAM
Our reserach group comprises experts in psychiatry, psychology, and clinical research. We are best known for our research on the effects of LSD in humans which we have studied since 2014. Besides that, we have also gained extensive experience in clinical studies on other hallucinogenic and entactogenic substances such as MDMA, psilocybin, and mescaline. We are also experienced in the application of MDMA and LSD in patients with treatment-resistant diseases. Specifically, we are interested in the potential beneficial effects of LSD on mental diseases such as anxiety and depression. Currently, we are running a clinical trial on LSD as a treatment for major depression. Please see here for more details on our completed and running projects and here for our peer-reviewed articles.
