Dr. Mirabella is a Clinical Fellow (PGY-1) in the Solnit Integrated Training Program in Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center. He grew up in rural New Jersey and majored in Psychology and Biochemistry at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. He completed his medical school and graduate school training through the Rutgers RWJMS-Princeton MD/PhD program where he studied neurodevelopmental disorders using stem cell models under an NIH National Ruth L. Kirschstein Pre Doctoral Fellowship. He also contributed to an understanding of NRXN1 gene loss of function in the pathogenesis of early onset psychosis as a visiting student at Stanford University and as an NIH National Cooperative Reprogrammed Cell Research Group student investigator. Moreover, he developed new methods to understand the role of neuropeptides and local hormonal signaling in the pathogenies of stress, anxiety, and eating disorders. Dr. Mirabella has worked in child mental health advocacy with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry on improving access to care for marginalized populations and at-risk youth. He is passionate about combining his clinical and research backgrounds to translate findings from contemporary neuroscience to advance the care of children impacted by neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism, OCD, stress, anxiety, and eating disorders, as well as developing interventional approaches for treatment resistant psychiatric conditions in youth. Personal interests include recreational sports (basketball, pickle ball, and tennis especially!), hiking, coffee, tea making, and spending time with friends and family.
