Curriculum vitae
​
Katrin Preller, received her M.Sc. (Neuropsychology) from University of Konstanz, Germany. For her PhD she went to University of Zurich, Switzerland, where she investigated the neurobiological and social-cognitive long-term effects of cocaine, MDMA, and heroin use. After completing her PhD, she joined the Neuropsychopharmacology and Brain Imaging lab at the Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich, investigating the effects of psilocybin and LSD on self-perception, social cognition, and multimodal processing using different brain imaging techniques. She furthermore worked as Postdoc at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL, London, UK, and Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA and is currently investigating the neurobiology of psychedelics in clinical and pre-clinical studies.

Curriculum vitae
​
Cansu Güngör started studying medicine at the Heidelberg Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University in 2014 and is currently in the third clinical year. After passing the first leg of German state examinations for physicians in 2016, she has gained further clinical experience with electives in psychiatry, neurology and general practice in Heidelberg, Istanbul and Liverpool, UK. Her wish to learn more about pre-clinical research and interest in neurosciences drove her to join Prof. Dr. Spanagel's research group at the Institute of Psychopharmacology of Central Institute of Mental Health Mannheim for her MD thesis, for which she is working with the ADE (alcohol deprivation effect) model of alcohol addiction to investigate the relapse-preventing potentials of psilocybin.
