The Imperial Centre for Psychedelic Research leads psychedelic research in the UK. The Centre focuses on two main research themes: the use of psychedelics in mental health care; and as tools to probe the brain’s basis of consciousness. After promising results in the treatment of depression, the Centre is now focusing on anorexia, chronic pain and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Dr David Erritzoe is a Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant Psychiatrist at Imperial College London and Central and North West London (CNWL) Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. He will discuss the science behind the use of psychedelics in mental health care.
Dr Kate Godfrey, Research Associate in the Department of Brain Sciences, will present research on the CNWL-Imperial Psychopharmacology & Psychedelic Research Clinic’s trial to use psilocybin to treat anorexia.
