Brandon Finn, CIP, serves as an IRB Administrator for the Harvard University Area IRB. His portfolio includes Harvard Graduate School of Education, Derek Bok Center, Rowland Institute, and Weatherhead Center. A dynamic professional with a multifaceted background in research administration and a deep-rooted passion for culinary exploration and human behavior, Brandon has spent the last 4+ years with the Boston Medical Center/Boston University Medical Campus (BMC/BUMC) IRB where he provided guidance to researchers on predominantly biomedical-based research studies and clinical trials. He graduated from Boston University in 2016 with degrees in Neuroscience and Psychology focusing specifically on human behavior and decision-making. Beyond his professional commitments, Brandon delights in exploring various cooking techniques, constantly trying to expand his culinary repertoire. When not in the kitchen, he can be found drinking obscene amounts of coffee and solving puzzles and brain teasers. In many ways he considers himself a pretzel-making detective of sorts. With his dependable nature, positive attitude, and knack for problem-solving, Brandon is poised to serve the needs of the HUA research community.
