Biography

Gabriel Murchison is an Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Public Health, specializing in social epidemiology and behavioral science. His research investigates how social contexts, including relationships with family, romantic partners, schools, and workplaces, affect alcohol use and co-occurring mental health issues in young adults. His recent studies have particularly focused on the romantic relationship experiences of transgender and nonbinary young adults and how social marginalization contributes to intimate partner violence within these contexts. He explores how supportive romantic relationships can mitigate the effects of social marginalization on alcohol consumption and mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety. Dr. Murchison holds a PhD in Population Health Sciences from Harvard University and has completed a postdoctoral fellowship through the Yale AIDS Prevention Training Program. He actively conducts both quantitative and qualitative research, with interests in measurement development, micro-longitudinal analysis, and causal mediation analysis.
