Biography

Dr. Daniel P. Moriarity directs the Precision Psychopathology + Dynamic Immunopsychiatry (PPDI) Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the dynamic interplay of stress, immunology, and affective psychopathology, which includes disorders such as depression and anxiety. The lab seeks to identify precision medicine facets fundamental to transforming mental health research and clinical practice. Specific projects include refining symptom-level clinical phenotypes related to immunology, advancing biological data collection standards, and integrating biological mechanisms within psychosocial frameworks of psychopathology. The lab employs a range of methods, including ecologically valid stress paradigms and pharmacological clinical trials, to contribute to research spanning the basic-to-clinical continuum. Furthermore, Dr. Moriarity aims to enhance the methodological rigor of biological psychology and inform effective treatment development and implementation.
