Presenting on "Psychedelics in chronic pain and mental health disorders"

Kim PC Kuypers is affiliated with Maastricht University's Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience as an Associate Professor. Her research focuses on the neurobiology of flexible cognition, empathy, and well-being. She uses a psychopharmacological model to study the effects of psychedelics on these behaviors and their underlying biology, spanning short-term, medium-term, and long-term impacts. Next to that she also conducts surveys to understand motivations, experiences, and patterns of psychedelic use. In the future, Kim aims to focus on identifying biological markers of positive responses to psychedelics but also to understand the impact of nutritional interventions on mental wellbeing. Her ultimate goal is to contribute to personalized understandings of the relationships between psychedelics, nutrition, and mental well-being.
