Along with Alain Marty, Brandon is the co-leader of the GABAergic synapses team.  His research focuses on understanding how cerebellar interneurons help process information in the cerebellar cortex. In addition to his research he has also created the website PubPeer.com; a centralized platform for discussion of the scientific literature.
