Dr. Hendricks serves as Associate Professor, University of Alabama at Birmingham. Hendricks is currently researching the use of psilocybin to see if it will help individuals addicted to cocaine stop using the harmful drug. He theorizes that psilocybin will work from the angles: biochemical, psychological and transcendental / spiritual. Hendricks’ research also focuses on novel and more effective treatments for substance abuse dependence, with specific areas of focus on tobacco, cocaine and polysubstance abuse in vulnerable populations.

 

Dr. Hendricks first hand knowledge of psychedelic clinical trials in both addiction and pain are invaluable to Bright Minds development in those therapeutic areas.
