CV
Kim P. C. Kuypers studies the effects of MDMA on cognition. A research grant she obtained in 2011 helped her to set up her own research line in which she chose to shift her focus from negative drug effects to positive effects of drugs and the underlying neurobiology.
Part of the work done at Maastricht University is sponsored by the Beckley Foundation (article).
