Robin Carhart-Harris

Dr. Carhart-Harris is the Head of the Centre for Psychedelic Research in the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London where he has published numerous clinical trials studying the effects of psychedelics on the brain. While there, he has designed a number of functional brain imaging studies with psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD, MDMA (ecstasy) and DMT (ayahuasca). Dr. Carhart-Harris has over 90 published papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals; 5 of which rank in the top 10 for annual citation rate in the field of psychedelic science, including the top 2 overall. Robin's research has featured in major national and international media and he has given a popular TEDx talk and has been a leading voice for psychedelic medicine at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His talks on psychedelic-assisted therapy play a significant role in the development of psychedelics as novel pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disorders currently underserved with existing therapies and he will play a crucial role in helping to shape Tryp's upcoming clinical trials.

Dr Carhart-Harris obtained his PhD in Psychopharmacology from the University of Bristol, and prior to that, an MA in Psychoanalysis at Brunel University. He has an honorary position at the University of Oxford.
