Frank D. Mann, Ph.D.

I am a Research Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University in the Department of  Medicine and a statistical reviewer for JAMA Network Open. My work addresses a broad range of questions related to mental health and well-being, spanning topics including acute and chronic stressors, psychiatric symptoms, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia, integrating genetic liability and immune-inflammatory pathways to illuminate underlying etiology. I approach these and related topics using theories and methods from clinical psychology, life course epidemiology, applied statistics, and behavioral genetics. Some of my recent works have been published in Nature Mental Health, Molecular Psychiatry, American Psychologist, and the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. I received the Early Career Award in 2021 from the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences. Previously, I completed a postdoctoral appointment at the University of Minnesota, worked as a statistical consultant for the Center for Practice Transformation, and taught longitudinal data analysis and introduction to research methods and statistics.
