Biography

Dea Siggaard Stenbæk is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in psychopharmacological research. Her work predominantly involves an integrated experimental approach to studying the serotonergic system, particularly focusing on the neuropsychopharmacological effects of psilocybin, a psychedelic compound. She trains students and clinicians in the safe administration of psilocybin and emphasizes the significance of extra-pharmacological factors such as the use of music in therapeutic settings. Stenbæk's research explores the broader implications of serotonin receptors in neurocognition for both healthy and disordered brains, utilizing PET imaging to investigate associations with serotonin receptors, including 5-HT2AR and 5-HT4R. Her current research interests encompass psychedelic research, neuropsychiatry, and their implications for understanding brain function in depression.
