University of Copenhagen

The Neurobiology Research Unit (NRU) at Copenhagen University Hospital has been carrying out clinical and preclinical research with psychedelics since 2017. The team at the NRU have been utilizing various neuroimaging techniques, including the use of radioisotopes, to better understand how psychedelics exert their effects on the brain. Since delving into the world of psychedelics, this research group have published eight peer-reviewed articles on various aspects of psychedelic science and have facilitated almost 50 medium-dose psilocybin sessions. The NRU is currently led by Professor Gitte Moos Knudsen who specializes in translational neurobiology and neurology.
