About Dr. Robinson
Dr. Jason D. Robinson is a Professor in the Department of Behavioral Science at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and a member of its Tobacco Research and Treatment Program. As a clinical psychologist, he began his research career as a human psychophysiologist, centered on identifying the neurobehavioral adaptations that result from smoking, identifying the individual, genetic, and developmental differences that influence these neurobehavioral adaptations, and modifying these neurobehavioral adaptations using novel pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. He has also pursued research in the use of genetics to identify nicotine dependence phenotypes, the stress hormone response to smoking, the treatment of nicotine dependence among at-risk populations, and new drug development for the treatment of nicotine dependence. More recently, Dr. Robinson has engaged in research evaluating the potential risks and benefits of alternative nicotine products, particularly electronic cigarettes, among smokers who switch to them.
