Cyril’s bio
Secretary General
I have been fascinated by altered states of consciousness since many years. It is therefore quite natural that I discovered the fascinating properties of psychedelics on consciousness and subsequently their therapeutic potential.
It was during the creation of the student association in Geneva on psychedelic research (ARP) that I met the rest of the team and got involved in the ALPS project.
Holding a MSc in Psychology, I’m currently doing a neuroscience master’s degree at the University of Geneva, where I work on OCD vulnerabilities in emotional learning and computational models. I also work in the Urgency department of the Hospital. I plan to devote my professional career to neuroscience research, more specifically to study the neuro-biological effects of psychedelic substances. I’m intrinsically motivated to be part of the ongoing psychedelic renaissance.
