Dr. Tobin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health, Behavior and Society in the Bloomberg School of Public Health in the Johns Hopkins University, the Associate Director of the Lighthouse Studies @ Peer Point, a community-based research clinic, and the Training Director of an Overdose Response Program. She received her Masters in Health Science from the Department of Mental Health in the Bloomberg School of Public Health and her doctorate degree from the Department of Health Policy and Management.

Her research focuses on identifying social and contextual factors that are associated with health and risk and developing and testing behavioral interventions to improve health and reduce health disparities. Her work addresses significant public health problems such as HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, mental health, addiction and overdose. She works with several key populations including people who use and inject drugs and sexual and racial minorities and I use a harm reduction framework to guide my research and practice.
