Dr. Greg Fonzo Greg Fonzo, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and co-director of the Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy at Dell Medical School. Fonzo’s research focuses broadly on understanding mechanisms of affective disorder psychopathology and treatment and leveraging this understanding to improve clinical care and patient outcomes. Fonzo’s ultimate goal is to improve clinical care for individuals living with stress-related affective disorders by discovering how current treatments work, who is best suited to receive a particular treatment and why, and designing novel mechanism-focused interventions targeted to engage specific brain circuits of interest. His vision is for every individual to receive an effective, individually tailored, biologically informed evidence-based treatment.   Gaby Poler-Buzali Gaby Poler-Buzali joined The University of Texas at Austin in May 2020 as director of development, principal gifts, for the Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences at Dell Medical School.
