Danielle Schlosser

Danielle Schlosser, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and a member of the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences. She directs the NIH-funded Digital Research and Interventions for Volitional Enhancement (DRIVE) Lab and the Digital Health Core. Her research focuses on developing neuroscience-informed digital health solutions to improve outcomes for individuals with schizophrenia and depression, particularly targeting motivational deficits and quality of life through mobile interventions like the PRIME app.

Dr. Schlosser's work bridges clinical psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and digital health innovation. She investigates reward processing, psychological determinants of motivation, and remote intervention delivery. Her NIH-funded projects include clinical trials testing entirely remote interventions for schizophrenia and depression.

Her publications emphasize digital therapeutics, cognitive training, and transdiagnostic approaches for severe mental illness. Recent work explores scalable mobile platforms for depression measurement, social motivation in psychosis, and peer-to-peer support in digital interventions.
