Subsequently, Dr. Lewin completed his clinical residency and a postdoctoral National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) research fellowship (in Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience) at the Semel Institute for Neuropsychiatry and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Lewin’s clinical and research activities focus on obsessive-compulsive spectrum and anxiety disorders. He has received a young investigator award from NARSAD (National Association for Research in Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders – now the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation) and was awarded the 2007-2008 Joseph Drown Foundation and Friends of the Semel Institute Fellowship to fund his research activities. Current research interests focus on improving the specificity of treatments, treatment dissemination and identifying biomarkers of OCD and tic disorders in children. He recently received grants from the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and the University of South Florida Research Foundation to help support his research and is a 2012-13 NIMH CHIPS (Child Intervention, Prevention and Services) Fellow.

Clinically, Dr. Lewin specializes in OCD, anxiety, Tourette/tic, trichotillomania and developmental disorders.
