FACE-TO-FACE STATIN STUDY
Healthy volunteers needed for a drug study investigating how a commonly-used medicine, a statin, affects emotional information, rewarding information, and inflammation.
Medical Sciences Inter-Divisional Research Ethics Committee reference: R69606/RE001
We are looking for healthy volunteers aged 18-50 years to participate in a study investigating how a statin (a medication commonly used to reduce cholesterol) changes the way we process emotional information and rewarding information, and its effect on inflammation.
Duration: Two appointments (one screening visit, one research visit) about 4 hours in total
Who can participate? Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 50 years
What does the study involve? Psychological tasks and taking one tablet each day for 7 days. Also, you will be asked questions about your medical history to check your suitability for the study and a blood test will be taken at each visit.
For more information in confidence, with no obligation to participate, please contact our research team at riccardo.degiorgi@bnc.ox.ac.uk. You will be reimbursed for your time!

FENCOG STUDY
We are looking for healthy volunteers aged 18-22 years without history of psychological disorders, to investigate the effect of the drug fenfluramine on learning and memory.
Participants will be invited to the Department of Psychiatry (University of Oxford) at the Warneford Hospital. The study takes place over four sessions. We would ask participants to take the study drug (fenfluramine or placebo) for a 7-day period. Time and travel expenses will be reimbursed.
We ask participants to complete tests of learning and memory before and after taking the study drug. These are computer-based tasks that require you to complete straightforward tasks, for example, recalling a word from a sentence that was previously read. These tasks are safe and non-invasive. You would also need to complete some questionnaires which measure psychological wellbeing.
Please contact us for more information if you are interested in participating:
