Research Assistant

Psychopharmacology and Emotion Research Laboratory

After graduating from St John's College, University of Oxford with an Integrated Master's in Neuroscience, I am continuing to work at the Psychopharmacology and Emotion Research Laboratory (PERL) in a full-time Research Assistant position.

I am currently investigating the effect of a number of licensed medications on a range of cognitive domains, such as emotional processing, working memory, and reward processing. The aim of this work is to investigate neurological mechanisms that potentially have an effect on a range of psychiatric conditions. 

In addition to this work, my primary research interests lie in psychedelics, psychedelic phenomena, and their potential use as novel therapeutics in psychiatry.
