Dr. Joshua Siegel, MD/Phd
Dr. Siegel's professional interest is in developing and understanding novel fast-acting psychopharmacological agents to treat psychiatric illness. He is currently involved in neuroimaging studies of ketamine, psilocybin, allopregnanolone and similar molecules. This is the convergence of interests in systems neuroscience, neurotransmitters, synaptic plasticity, psychiatry and consciousness.
"I am fascinated by all levels of systems neuroscience. The only thing that excites me as much as being a part of the accelerating field of neuroscience is the prospect of using these advances to improve lives. I envision continuing to study neurotransmitter systems and novel psychopharmacology using tools that enable me to interrogate brain-wide circuit level effects."
Daniel Harkins
Daniel Harkins is a Marine Corps Veteran currently working as an ethnobotanist and mycologist while advocating for psychedelic reform in the state of MO. Daniel suffered from service related ptsd for several years after his departure from the military and was able to cure his trauma through the use of psychedelics, which created his desire to work within this field to help create access to any other veteran in need of alternative forms of treatment. In November of 2021, Daniel formed a business called Cultured Cultures LLC that currently sells mycology supplies and educates about psychedelic efficacy.
