Key Impact
Emerging clinical researcher notable for experimental studies on psilocybin, ayahuasca and 2C‑B that probe neural, immunological and cognitive effects of psychedelics in healthy volunteers.
Background & Research
Paolo Mallaroni is a clinical researcher based at Maastricht University whose work sits at the intersection of experimental psychopharmacology, neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience of psychedelics. He has contributed to placebo‑controlled experimental studies and multimodal imaging analyses examining acute and persisting effects of classic and novel psychoactive compounds, and has collaborated extensively with groups led by N.L. Mason and colleagues on projects spanning psilocybin, ayahuasca and 2C‑B. His research portfolio includes investigations of subjective phenomenology (including oceanic boundlessness), dynamic functional connectivity changes after psilocybin, structural cortical signatures of repeated ayahuasca use, cognitive effects on episodic familiarity, and immunological alterations following psilocybin administration.
