Benjamin H. Chandler, B.S.
Research fellow at NIMH and aspiring psychiatrist-neuroscientist.
About me
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Cognitive & Computational Neuroscience and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, both from Michigan State University.
Currently, I am a research fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health investigating the neuropsychopharmacology of ketamine and other experimental therapeutics for treatment-resistant depression and suicidality.
Future goals
I aspire to help bridge neuroscience and psychology, using computational approaches to deepen our understanding of the biological and experiential foundations of psychological pain, empathy, compassion, and insight—and to translate this knowledge into innovative, patient-centered treatments.
I am currently applying to MD-PhD programs to pursue this path as a psychiatrist-neuroscientist.
