Biography

Kathleen T. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., is a clinical and translational researcher with more than 30 years of experience at multiple levels in the translational research spectrum. Her research focuses on the development of new treatments for individuals with substance use disorders, with an emphasis on translating study findings into effective treatment interventions. She began her research career conducting basic science work in the drug abuse field and received her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Pharmacology.

 

Dr. Brady moved into clinical and translational research after finishing her residency in psychiatry in 1989. She has been continuously federally funded to conduct research since 1989. Her recent research activities involve the interface between basic and clinical science investigating the mechanistic connection between stress and substance use disorders and in the translation of empirically-based treatments from academic medical centers to front-line treatment settings.
