Daniel Moriarity. Daniel Moriarity's research aims to elucidate the bidirectional relations between psychopathology (with a focus on affective disorders) and inflammation. Throughout his graduate career he has developed three intersecting lines of work in an effort to maximize the clinical impact of his research as well as contribute to how the field conceptualizes and tests these relationships. Substantively, his work investigates the relationships between inflammation and psychopathological characteristics in naturalistic and experimental settings. In particular, he is interested in the role cognitive vulnerabilities have in modulating the pathway from stress, thru immunology, to behavior, which inspired the immunocognitive model described in this review. Further, he has two more methodologically-oriented research aims. First, he seeks to contribute to precision medicine through the characterization of inflammatory phenotypes of psychopathology by utilizing multiple levels of measurement (e.g., total symptom score vs. subscales vs. individual symptoms and inflammatory composites vs. individual proteins) in his work. Second, he investigates physiometrics (the measurement properties of biological variables) and advocates for their importance in immunopsychiatry and biological psychiatry as a whole. By leveraging this information, he believes it is possible to improve the replicability of biological psychiatry and create a more efficient research—practice pipeline. Daniel completed his undergraduate education at Elmira College, was a post-bacc with Dr. Andres De Los Reyes at the University of Maryland-College Park, and began his clinical psychology Ph.D. in 2015 in Dr. Lauren Alloy's Mood and Cognition Lab at Temple University. He completed his clinical training at Temple University's Psychological Services Center, the Adult Anxiety Clinic of Temple, and Drexel's Center City Behavioral Health Clinic (which specialized in working with clients with comorbid HIV and psychiatric disorders). He looks forward to starting his clinical internship at McLean Hospital in July 2021.
