Dr. Renata Sadibolova serves as a Visiting Professor at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) within the Psychosis Studies department (May 2023-April 2027), while maintaining her primary affiliation with Birkbeck, University of London's School of Psychology and Centre for Research in Psychological Wellbeing.
Education:
- PhD in Psychology, Birkbeck, University of London (Awarded January 31, 2018)
- MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology, Birkbeck, University of London (Awarded July 31, 2014)
- BSc (Hons) in Psychology, Birkbeck, University of London (Awarded July 31, 2013)
Her research program centers on the neurocognitive mechanisms of time perception, with particular emphasis on dopamine dynamics, psychedelic compounds, and clinical applications. She employs advanced methodologies including computational modeling, neuroimaging, and pharmacological interventions to investigate how temporal processing intersects with mental health conditions and neurodegenerative disorders. Her work bridges theoretical cognitive science with translational clinical applications.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a clear trajectory connecting neurochemical mechanisms (particularly dopamine) with time perception abnormalities across clinical populations. Her 2023-2025 work demonstrates growing interest in psychedelic microdosing effects and Parkinson's disease symptomatology, reflecting an expansion from basic temporal processing research toward clinical interventions. The consistent focus on individual differences suggests personalized approaches to cognitive assessment and treatment.
Research Leadership:
- Co-Principal Investigator for "Time Perception in Placebo and Nocebo" project (September 2022-August 2023)
- Co-Investigator for "Exploring the interaction between mental well-being and time perception" (May 2024-January 2026)
Her extensive conference activity—including multiple invited talks at major neuroscience venues—demonstrates recognition as an emerging leader in temporal cognition research. Her work with non-academic organizations, particularly on LSD microdosing applications (2023), shows commitment to translating basic research into practical interventions.
Dr. Sadibolova leads research initiatives within Birkbeck's Centre for Research in Psychological Wellbeing and maintains active collaboration with King's College London's IoPPN, where she contributes to psychosis studies through the lens of temporal processing abnormalities.
