Benjamin H. Chandler, B.S.
Research fellow at NIMH 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.
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 am interested in using computational approaches to understand how neural mechanisms give rise to subjective experiences of symptoms like pain and distress, with an emphasis on clinical translation.
I am pursuing MD-PhD training with the goal of a career as a physician-scientist.
