Help us advance psychedelic research!

Mental health is in crisis in the United States and around the world. One area of promising research to address this problem relates to psychedelic molecules. But to make this work available in a safe and effective way to more people, we still need to better understand how these molecules work. This is why we are undertaking a pilot study to better understand the effects of the South American psychedelic Ayahuasca using advanced epigenetic and microbiome analysis.

 

We believe this research will help provide further insights for how psychedelics influence the brain, as well as potential to better understand which people are more likely to benefit from them. We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers working hard on this project. But we need your help!
