I’m currently enrolled as a PhD student at the University of Southern Denmark where I work under the supervision of Associate professor Mikael Palner. My research focuses on the acute and persistent effects of serotonergic psychedelic drugs within neuronal circuits related to the pathophysiology of obsessive compulsive disorder and other anxiety related disorders. Through in vivo Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging I study the effects of different serotonergic psychedelic drugs on neuronal activity and functional connectivity within specific neuronal circuits in order to, hopefully, understand how serotonergic psychedelic drugs are able to elicit persistent therapeutic effects long after the psychedelic effects.
I hold a bachelor degree from the University of Copenhagen, and a double MSc degree, one in neurobiology & biophysics from University of Chinese Academy in Sciences (UCAS) and one in neuroscience/neuroimaging from Aarhus University, Denmark. I wrote my Master thesis at the Neurobiological Research Unit (NRU) at Copenhagen University Hospital under the supervision of Prof. DMsc. Gitte M. Knudsen and Associate Prof. Mikael Palner.
