Matthew "Mateo" Pearson, Ph.D.

Role: Principal Investigator

I am an experimental psychologist, and I am passionate about finding ways to use science to improve people’s lives. By partnering with people with lived experience of chronic pain, opioid use disorder, and other mental health issues, our center is dedicated to keeping our focus on our shared goal: improve the lives of people suffering from chronic pain and problematic opioid use. This center brings so many of my amazing colleagues together and I am truly excited to see what we can accomplish together.
