Crabbe is known for his research using mouse models to study the pharmacogenetics of alcoholism.[3][5] He is also known for a 1999 study he and his colleagues published documenting significant variations in certain mouse behaviors across different labs, even when they all tried to follow the same protocols.[6][7][8] In 2011, he was chosen by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to give the 16th annual Mark Keller Honorary Lecture.[2]

Crabbe is a member of the editorial board of Genes, Brain and Behavior.[9]
