UCSF Launches Translational Psychedelic Research (TrPR) Program April 9, 2021
The newly christened Translational Psychedelic Research (TrPR) Program is launching a unique multidisciplinary network of scientists and healthcare providers who work together to research psychedelic-assisted therapies.
The TrPR Program, which is based at UCSF, is distinguishing itself from other university research groups through its distinctively inclusive approach to psychedelic medicine. Members of the TrPR network study psychedelic therapies that may benefit patients with conditions considered higher risk or overlooked by other researchers in the field, such as bipolar disorder, Parkinson’s and back pain.
TrPR includes investigators from both clinical and research disciplines based at medical centers from the San Francisco Bay Area to Seattle, says Dr. Joshua Woolley Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences and Director of the Translationa

After a year of isolation, there are things you start to forget. You forget how to stand in a crowded commuter train (legs apart, slight bend in the knee) or how to shimmy sheepishly past theatergoers to reach a middle seat (face away, apologize repeatedly).
And, without a constant parade of baby showers and work mixers, you forget how to talk to strangers: The witty banter, the conversational volley, the way you break the ice with “How about this rain, huh?” instead of “So, what do you consider your greatest failure in life?”
But the world is starting to open up again, and that means having to engage in that dreaded four-letter word chat with people you don’t know. If the idea makes you nervous, you’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve been imagining it for months the feeling of freedom that would arrive once you’ve gotten the COVID-19 vaccine. You can get a haircut! Hug your friends! Eat in a restaurant!
Yet you may be surprised to find that when the day comes, the anxiety you’ve felt during this pandemic year isn’t so quick to melt away.
That’s what Stina Wedlock discovered. The 52-year-old physician in Indianapolis has been vaccinated for months now, yet she still feels reluctant to return to some of her favorite activities. “I loved going to the theater. I’ve even traveled across the country and to the United Kingdom to see my favorite actors in plays,” she says. “Now, I don’t know if I’ll ever see my favorite artists live again.”
