CV

Tobias Buchborn graduated in Psychology (Dipl.-Psych.) at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany. In his diploma thesis he investigated the antidepressant-like properties of repeated LSD administration in an animal model of depression.

Tobias ran his PhD project in Neuroscience at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology Magdeburg, where his research addressed the pharmacodynamics of repeated administration of psychedelics.

In 2016, Tobias was awarded an individual Marie Curie Research Fellowship (MSCA) and started to work in the Laboratory for Neuronal Circuit Dynamics (LNCD) at Imperial College London. Ever since he applies methods of optogenetic electrophysiology to study the cortical embedding of psychedelic drug action.
