Joel Erblich (Associate Professor) received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from University of Southern California, completed an internship at UCLA, and a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University. Most recently, he worked at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine on behavioral approaches to cancer prevention and control, with a focus on substance abuse, particularly nicotine dependence.
