Brandon Oberlin

Brandon Oberlin is a neuroscientist holding multiple faculty appointments at Indiana University: Associate Professor of Psychiatry at IU School of Medicine, Assistant Professor of Psychology at School of Science, and Adjunct Associate Professor of Neurology. His research focuses on addiction neuroscience, specifically examining unhealthy decision-making, behavioral traits in addiction, and dopamine system interactions using fMRI and PET imaging techniques.

• PhD in Medical Neuroscience (2010)
• B.S. in Biology (2003)

Current projects investigate alcohol-related decision-making, relapse prevention through future-orientation, and virtual reality applications in recovery. His work spans dopamine receptor availability, cue-induced craving, and genetic factors in addiction. Collaborations involve researchers across addiction medicine, neurology, and psychiatry.

Scientific awards include NIH grants (K99/R00 AA023296, T32 AA007462, F31 AA016430) and institutional fellowships from Indiana University School of Medicine and University of Oregon. The Oberlin Lab trains students and technicians in neuroimaging and behavioral economics methodologies.
