At Imperial, Robin has designed and overseen brain imaging studies involving LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and DMT, plus a clinical trial of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, another trial comparing psilocybin with escitalopram for major depressive disorder and another imaging study in healthy volunteers receiving a high-dose of psilocybin.
