He also serves as Director of the Behavioral Neuropharmacology and Neuroimaging Laboratory within the University at Buffalo’s Clinical and Research Institute on Addictions. Dr. Thanos received his PhD in Biomedical Sciences/Neuroscience from Eastern Virginia Medical School/Old Dominion University and subsequently completed advanced training in neuroscience and neuroimaging of drug addiction at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on addiction neurobiology, behavioral neuropharmacology, brain reward mechanisms, and translational neuroimaging, integrating molecular and behavioral approaches with imaging technologies such as positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT, and autoradiography to investigate the genetic, epigenetic, neurochemical, and functional mechanisms underlying substance use disorders and related neuropsychiatric conditions. His current research encompasses dopaminergic reward signaling in addiction, obesity and binge eating; the effects of GLP-1 interventions and bariatric surgery on brain reward circuitry; long-term consequences of psychostimulant exposure; endocannabinoid signaling in pain and reward; exercise as a potential therapeutic intervention for substance use disorders; and the developmental effects of prenatal nicotine and cannabis exposure. Dr. Thanos has served as principal investigator or co-investigator on numerous projects supported by the NIH, NIDA, NIAAA, and other research agencies. His current Scopus profile lists 259 indexed documents, an h-index of 50, and more than 9,570 citations, reflecting his sustained contributions to addiction neuroscience, reward-system biology, neuroimaging, and translational neuropharmacology.
