Summary
- Tobias Buchborn graduated in Psychology (Dipl. Psych.) at the Otto-von-Guericke University (OvGU) in Magdeburg, Germany. In his Diploma thesis, he investigated the behavioural and pharmacodynamic effects of the psychedelic 5-HT1A/2A agonist LSD in animal model of depression.
- Tobias received his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in Neurobiology from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, OvGU, based on his research at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology. His PhD project addressed the behavioural and molecular biological correlates of differential tolerance to the psychedelics LSD and DMT, with focus on processes of 5-HT2A regulation.
- In 2016, Tobias was awarded an MSCA Individual Research Fellowship and started to work at Imperial's Department of Brain Sciences, Laboratory for Neuronal Circuit Dynamics (LNCD). Ever since, his research has been devoted to the corticodynamics of psychedelic drug action.
