Greg Fonzo is Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Charmaine and Gordon McGill
Center for Psychedelic Research and Therapy in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. He completed his Ph.D. in
Clinical Psychology at the San Diego State University/University of California-San Diego Joint
Doctoral Program, and he completed his postdoctoral fellowship in biobehavioral research at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Fonzo’s laboratory utilizes non-invasive brain measurement tools to characterize
neurobiological mechanisms of stress-related mental health disorders such as posttraumatic
stress disorder, anxiety, and depression; and evidence-based treatments such as
psychotherapy and antidepressant medication. His research also focuses on designing and
establishing mechanisms and efficacy of novel neuroscience-informed interventions, with a
particular focus on psychedelic therapies and neuromodulation.
He was the 2020 winner of the prestigious One Mind Rising Star Award for his novel
research on focused ultrasound neuromodulation. His research is funded through the National
Institutes of Health, several private foundations, and philanthropic gifts. His work and that of his
collaborators have been published in top tier psychiatry/neuroscience journals, including Nature
Biotechnology, Nature Human Behavior, Science Translational Medicine, Molecular
Psychiatry, The American Journal of Psychiatry, Neuron, Biological Psychiatry, and JAMA
Psychiatry.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
