Biography
Dr. Moore received his doctorate from the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology.  After completing his clinical internship at the West Los Angeles VA, he returned to UCSD for a post-doctoral fellowship focusing on individuals with serious mental illness.  Currently, as an Assistant Adjunct Professor conducting research at the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center (HNRC), he focuses on cognitive impairment and daily functioning difficulty among persons with co-occurring HIV infection and serious mental illness.  Dr. Moore is also a member of the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology faculty.

Research Focus 
Dr. Moore’s research focuses on the neuropsychological and everyday functioning difficulties of individuals with HIV infection and/or serious mental illness (SMI).  He is particularly interested in the potential additive risk for cognitive impairment and the associated consequences for daily functioning among these individuals.  He has an NIMH-funded R03 examining the predictors of medication adherence among individuals with both HIV infection and co-occurring bipolar disorder.  Future research with this population will examine both the neurobiological underpinnings of neuropsychological impairments as well as interventions that may improve cognition, adherence, and daily functioning.

Clinical Focus 
Dr. Moore is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychological and everyday functioning assessments.
