Boris Tabakoff

Professor with a reputation for excellence in the field of behavioral genetics, Boris Tabakoff is a distinguished Research Professor at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado Boulder. With a career dedicated to unraveling the complex interplay between genetics and behavior, Professor Tabakoff has made significant contributions to our understanding of mental disorders and addiction. His research is centered on quantitative genetics in pharmacology, where he explores the genetic and environmental variables that contribute to complex neurobiological and behavioral traits. Professor Tabakoff's work is pivotal in identifying predisposing factors to addiction and mental disorders, offering insights that are crucial for developing targeted interventions and treatments. In addition to his focus on addiction and mental health, Professor Tabakoff is deeply involved in the study of drug metabolism. His investigations into how genetic variations influence drug response have important implications for personalized medicine, aiming to optimize therapeutic strategies based on individual genetic profiles. Through his extensive research, Professor Tabakoff continues to advance the field of behavioral genetics, contributing to a deeper understanding of the genetic underpinnings of behavior and health.
