Biography

Timothy Durazzo is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. His research focuses on the interplay of biomedical, psychological, and social factors that influence treatment outcomes for veterans and civilians seeking help for alcohol and substance use disorders. He leads a multidisciplinary team that integrates advanced neuroimaging, neurocognitive assessments, psychosocial factors, and genotyping methods to identify factors related to relapse and sustained sobriety. The BRASS lab, which he directs, is currently engaged in clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in promoting long-term abstinence from alcohol use disorders, particularly among veterans. Durazzo's work aims to develop effective treatments that consider the complexities of brain biology, psychology, and individual circumstances.
