Benjamin H. Chandler, B.S.
Neuroscience researcher and aspiring physician-scientist.
Background
I graduated from Michigan State University in May 2023 with dual B.S. degrees in Neuroscience and Psychology, a concentration in Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, and a minor in Cognitive Science.
From June 2024 to September 2026, I was a postbaccalaureate research fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), where I investigated the neuropsychopharmacology of ketamine and other experimental therapeutics for treatment-resistant depression and suicidality.
Future goals
I am interested in using computational and neuroimaging methods to understand how changes in brain and body systems shape psychiatric symptoms and treatment response. My broader research interests include computational psychiatry, psychopharmacology, interoception, and contemplative science.
I am pursuing MD-PhD training with the goal of a career as a physician-neuroscientist.
