Associate Professor, Neural Mechanisms of Eating Disorders Laboratory. Monash University, Biomedicine Discovery Institute (@MonashBDI).
Today is the day! I can officially share my promotion to Associate Professor at @MonashBDI 🎉🎉 - Thanks to my lab (past and present), colleagues, letter writers and supporters 😊
We created a python package for photometry post-hoc analysis using bootstrapping confidence Intervals No more AUC or time bins analysis! Ever Follow our simple step by step instructions. Thanks.... @DrReal82 @ClaireFoldi @philURDB @Stark_BrainSci biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
This extraordinary psychedelic precision functional mapping dataset is now fully/freely available to all! All the info to access & use it in a newly published Nature Scientific Data Resource: rdcu.be/epxe7 Thanks to the incredible team who created it - Subha S, Rick…
After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a…
🍄🧠Psilocybin may help treat #anorexia by boosting cognitive flexibility and reshaping reward processing—key brain functions impaired in the disorder. Its effects go beyond serotonin, tapping into dopamine pathways to drive neuroplasticity. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
#GRCPsychedelics meeting this week was excellent. I learned a lot, had many meaningful conversations, and am convinced more than ever that we need to focus more effectively on forward- and back-translation in psychedelic neuroscience Thank you Alex and Vlad for organizing
Can’t believe #GRCPsychedelics is happening in two weeks! We reached capacity attendance – sorry we could not accommodate everyone. We look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting. w/ @VVyazovskiy @ViditaVaidya @MelissaHerman4
Poster session in full swing. Lots of exciting unpublished work. #GRCPsychedelics
We have (sort of) recovered from the jet lag & are now en route to the GRC #psychedelics conference!! See y’all soon 🤗 @KynaConn
The 2025 BPA Meeting is fast approaching! We're pleased to announce that GENERAL ABSTRACT SUBMISSION & EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION are open. 10 min/5 min oral & poster categories are available. Submit via tinyurl.com/2kjtb9yu by July 31 and spread the word to your networks! 🧠🧪
🧵 THREAD 🧠 Can understanding brain circuits revolutionize eating disorder treatment? 🔬 New insights from Dr. Claire Foldi at Monash University are exploring how neuroscience and psychedelics might transform anorexia nervosa therapy! (1/10) 👇

Go see @Sheida_Shadani and hear about some cool work she has been doing on #psychedelics and social behaviour in mice #IBNS2025 @IBNSconnect
Come to my poster #131 @IBNSconnect 🧠 🍄🟫 ✨

We will hear from CPPR representatives @BurneTom @ClaireFoldi @anthonyjhannan on novel approaches for generating and evaluating animal models for depression, anxiety, and psychosis —joined by discussants @Rachneurosci @hkatemacpherson !
A little interview with yours truly for @GenomicPress #Psychedelics @MonashBDI @aedrtc genomicpress.kglmeridian.com/view/journals/…
Cool use of TRAP-seq here!! Love it
This recent study used TRAP-seq to identify cell-type-specific mRNA translation changes in the NAcc core during incubation of cocaine craving, finding pronounced shifts in the translatome (especially in D1-expressing neurons) w/ notable sex differences nature.com/articles/s4138…
Can confirm - go work with Jens!
Postdoc positions available in my lab @karolinskainst - exciting science and fantastic environment. I take mentoring seriously - 7/7 postdocs that left my lab has faculty positions today. Existing datasets and funds to build new ones available. shorturl.at/sj2YE
