He completed an MS degree in Neuroscience prior to medical school, with a research thesis on the validation of intracranial microdialysis for measurement of synaptic serotonin overflow. Subsequent to medical school he completed post-doctoral research training at UCSF investigating language and other cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, and at Mount Sinai investigating neurochemical and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia-spectrum and borderline personality disorders. He is currently a post-doctoral scholar at UCDMC using cognitive neuroscience methodology to investigate neurochemical and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.   Tina Moylan, MS, MFTI Tina Moylan is the Care Manager for the EDIPPP project. She received her Masters of Counseling degree from the University of Phoenix, Sacramento Campus and is currently pursuing post-degree hours towards licensure as a Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist.

Her main role for the EDIPPP project involves diagnostic assessment and data management.   Dr. J. Daniel Ragland Dr. Ragland's work investigates the effect of schizophrenia on brain function during episodic memory encoding and retrieval. Of particular interest is the role that organizational abilities play in new learning and subsequent memory retrieval, how schizophrenia disrupts these organizational processes, and how these deficits might be remediated to improve patients' frontotemporal brain activity and daily function. His research has used a combination of neuropsychological and functional imaging techniques (133Xenon, PET 0-15, BOLD fMRI) to identify the cognitive functions and brain regions underlying these memory processes. Other research interests include developing translational fMRI memory paradigms for mouse and human, and investigating the neurological basis of food craving.   Dr. Marjorie Solomon Dr. Solomon graduated from the doctoral program in the Department of Psychology at U.C. Berkeley. She is a licensed psychologist and an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the MIND Institute. Dr. Solomon's research interests include the remediation of deficits in social functioning in children and young adults with autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and the relationship of thought disorder to behavioral, emotional, and neuropsychological symptoms observed in both these groups. Dr. Solomon also participates in assessments with the EDAPT clinic team.   Dr. Jong Yoon Dr. Yoon is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry who completed medical school at New York University School of Medicine and psychiatric residency at UCSF.
