Kathleen T. Brady (born October 11, 1952) is an American psychiatrist.
Early life and education
[edit]Brady was born on October 11, 1952[1] to neuroscientist Joseph V. Brady.[2] She would join her father in his laboratory and earned her first author credit in the fourth grade with a paper in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior.[3]
Following high school, Brady enrolled at Fordham University for her bachelor's degree in psychology and biology.[3] She met her future husband R.B. Lydiard at the VCU School of Medicine and followed him to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) for her medical degree.[4]
Career
[edit]Following medical school and a psychiatry residency, Brady completed a fellowship in addiction psychiatry before joining the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) faculty as an assistant professor.[3] In this role, she examined gender differences in psychiatric disorders among 100 treatment-seeking cocaine and alcohol abusers.[5] In 2010, Brady was promoted to Distinguished University Professor at MUSC for her addiction research and studies on substance abuse and mental health disorders.[6] Following her promotion, Brady received funding to examine relationships among gender, stress, and craving in cocaine and nicotine use in order to develop potential medications to prevent stress-based cocaine relapse and promote smoking cessation.[7]
During the summer of 2016, Brady was named the Vice President for Research at the MUSC as a result of her "passion for advancing new knowledge and scientific discoveries."[8] Following this, she received the Peggy Schachte Research Mentor Award for her "strong record of mentoring faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and doctoral students in obtaining extramural awards."[9]
