One year since I joined @JHPsychedelics with the most wonderful set of people I could ever imagine working with. So much has happened in the past year, and so much remains to unfold. I look forward to what is in store for the next year. Here is my favorite picture of Baltimore:

Easily one of the best conferences I have attended so far! @GordonConf Shout out to the leadership of @kwanalexc @VVyazovskiy @MelissaHerman4 @ViditaVaidya This experience had so many highlights (but apparently, I can only post 4 pictures in one post). #GRCPsychedelics



Thrilled and grateful to have received the travel award for #GRCPsychedelics @TIFRScience Many thanks and congratulations to @ViditaVaidyan @MelissaHerman4 @VVyazovskiy @kwanalexc for organising this wonderful conference bringing together the psychedelic research community!
We worked so well as a team for the #GRCPsychedelics @VVyazovskiy @MelissaHerman4 @ViditaVaidya and congrats to @TheBorisLab and @MikaelPalner, who will be the future vice-chairs!
also featuring posters from @winstonian3 and Nate Heller @JHPsychedelics !
Thrilled to connect at the Neurobiology of Psychedelics Gordon Research Conference (@GordonConf) next week! CPCR researchers and fellow scientists will discuss wide range of topics, including preclinical and clinical research, drug discovery, and neuroplasticity.
Excited for this conference!!!! #GRCPsychedelics If you are coming, please drop by the poster and say hi. Also looking forward to hosting the Trainee Mixer on Monday with Lindsay. We have some amazing things in store waiting for all the trainees!

I am so excited about this conference! See you all at #GRCPsychedelics.
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
I have a baby lab! We have some exciting questions on developmental neuroscience. Please apply if interested in joining me

Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine as an 'adaptogen' that boosts stress resilience, but the cellular mechanisms and key beneficial bioactives that drive putative neuroprotective effects remain unclear @SashainaEF
Our latest study identifies a specific cell type and receptor essential for psilocybin’s long-lasting neural and behavioral effects 🍄🔬🧠🐁 Led by Ling-Xiao Shao and @ItsClaraLiao Funded by @NIH @NIMHgov 📄Read in @Nature - nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/12
🎉NEW PAPER ALERT🎉In an RCT, we found no difference between psilocybin and placebo in alcohol use characterstics in a relapse prevention framework for AUD patients. So excited to finally share these findings! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
We wrote a short @NatureNV piece to highlight the exciting work by @tinakim_neuro and @DEOlsonLab @UCDavisIPN. Novel neuron-tagging techniques used to dissect the mechanism of psychedelics ⚡🧠🤯 nature.com/articles/d4158…
Very happy to present our new tool, Morpheus, that takes in protein sequence information and predicts fold switching behavior in proteins. bioRxiv preprints: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… Web server: mbu.iisc.ac.in/~anand/morpheus All codes and data on Zenedo: (zenodo.org/records/148373…
Delighted to see the study out at @NatureComms 👇 nature.com/articles/s4146… As a lab, we are keen to develop new methods that can help decide which novel psychoactive compound may be therapeutic
Can whole-brain imaging of cellular c-Fos signals be used for #psychedelics drug discovery? This was a project led by @aboharbf and @PashaDavoudian, where they tested a panel of drugs and developed a machine learning pipeline to classify. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
