John C. Crabbe, Jr. is an American neuroscientist and behavior geneticist. He is a professor of behavioral neuroscience at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine, where he has worked since 1979.[2] He is also a senior research career scientist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Portland, Oregon.[1] He is also the former director of OHSU's Portland Alcohol Research Center.[3][4]
Crabbe is known for his research using mouse models to study the pharmacogenetics of alcoholism.[3][5] He is also known for a 1999 study he and his colleagues published documenting significant variations in certain mouse behaviors across different labs, even when they all tried to follow the same protocols.[6][7][8] In 2011, he was chosen by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to give the 16th annual Mark Keller Honorary Lecture.[2]
