Jan Ramaekers

Professor of Psychopharmacology and Behavioral Toxicology

Prof. Ramaekers works as a professor in psychopharmacology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. His research combines methods from psychopharmacology, forensic toxicology and cognitive neuroscience to determine drug induced changes in human performance. In his work, he focuses on the impact of different substances of (ab)use, including cannabis, stimulants, opioids, novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and psychedelics on neuronal networks and human cognition. This work bears relevance in the context of drug development and therapeutics and in legal settings when evaluating the impact of drug exposure on human function.
