Covers a nice molecularpsychiatry paper from Gitte Knudsen's group

It's a sad day for psychedelic science. Roland Griffiths was a true pioneer. I still remember exactly where I was when I read his influential 2006 paper:

He has had an incredibly positive impact on this world, and I'm very lucky to have known him

Check out our most recent paper in JACS Au on the total synthesis of tropane alkaloids. This is our first step towards identifying tropane-based psychoplastogens that are better tolerated than molecules like scopolamine.

This work was led by the very talented PhD student Run Zhang, with help from many more in our lab. A great example of tool engineers and neuroscientists working together. Also thanks to Olson Lab! We're getting plasmids up on Addgene, but reach out if you can't wait! 6/6

How do researchers strip a #psychedelic of its hallucinogenic properties? David Olson (Olson Lab), founding director of Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics, walks us through the chemical evolution of these revolutionary compounds: lettersandscience.ucdavis.edu/news/how-do-yo…
