Biography
Hi there, my name is Cory Weissman and I am a senior psychiatry resident and a member of the clinician-scientist program at the University of Toronto, in Canada. My current research focus is in interventional treatments for suicidality, specifically brain stimulation and psychedelic modalities. I will be completing my residency training next year and am in the midst of a MSc in pharmacology. I personally believe that current discoveries in the clinical neurosciences hold great promise for the future of psychiatry. This is why I am devoting my career to investigating how emerging brain-based interventional treatments work on a translational level.
