CV

From his bio: “Albert Perez Garcia-Romeu Ph.D. is a member of the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences faculty at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he studies the effects of psychedelics in humans, with a focus on psilocybin as an aid in the treatment of addiction. He received his doctorate in Psychology in 2012 from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, where he researched self-transcendence and meditation, and their role in mental health. His current research interests include clinical applications of psychedelics, mindfulness, and altered states of consciousness, and their underlying neurobiological mechanisms.“

He is also the principal investigator in the large study (starting August 2020) on psilocybin use in naturalistic settings, which is part of the cooperation between Johns Hopkins and Unlimited Sciences.
