Emmanuelle Schindler, MD, PhD

Medical Director
Headache Center of Excellence, VA Connecticut Healthcare System, Connecticut

Emmanuelle Schindler, MD, PhD is Medical Director of the Headache Center of Excellence at Veterans Affairs (VA) Connecticut Healthcare System and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine. She is a board-certified Neurologist and Headache Medicine specialist. Among her efforts to optimize the management of headache disorders, she has executed the first controlled trials of psilocybin in cluster, migraine, and post-traumatic headache. Previously, Dr. Schindler studied the neuropharmacology of psychedelics and other serotonergic compounds in the context of receptor binding and intracellular signaling at Drexel University College of Medicine. Her neuropharmacology background frames her endeavor to investigate the potential for psychedelics to serve as safe and effective headache medicines. Currently, she seeks to identify the source of sustained reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin, considering several neurobiological systems.
