She is Director of the Panlab personalized neuroscience lab, and the lab spans both Stanford and MIRECC sites. Her research programs are aimed at developing a neural circuit model of mental disorder, one that can be translated into practice in the real world. Given the immediate public need she focuses on depression and anxiety and accompanying conditions such as drug use. These conditions are being reconceptualized as disorders of large-scale human brain circuits that coordinate emotional and cognitive functions. Brain imaging, behavior and genetic data are integrated to characterize brain-circuit based phenotypes. Interventional studies test if these brain markers help guide and personalized treatment choices, and the mechanisms by which treatments work for one person and not another. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty she was foundation Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry at the Sydney Medical School (2005-2013) and Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Sydney (1999-2004). During that time she was Director of the Sydney Brain Dynamics Center from 2001 to 2013. Her training was in psychology and in cognitive and affective neuroscience. Her PhD was awarded in 1996 and it was completed with a British Council scholarship for study at Oxford University.

Her time is divided among the clinical, research, and teaching missions of department. She leads an interdisciplinary team of child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatry fellows, clinical and research postdoctoral fellows, residents, medical students, and research coordinators to evaluate and treat youth with mood spectrum disorders along a developmental continuum. Her research focuses on investigating the origins and pathways for developing mood disorders during childhood, as well as methods to protect and preserve function before and after the onset of early mood problems. She recently completed her NIMH career development award that characterizes emotion regulation in healthy offspring of parents with bipolar disorder, and is now leading three independent NIMH funded studies examining the mechanisms of mood and other psychiatric disorders and their treatments among youth. These areas of research hold considerable promise to impact our understanding of the core mechanisms and early interventions for pediatric onset mood disorders.

In her graduate work, Tiffany combined quantitative cognitive-behavioral modeling with psychophysics and task-based fMRI to understand perceptual decision making/visual attention in healthy young adults. As a postdoc at the University of California, San Francisco, Tiffany is continuing and expanding this line of work with a multimodal approach (task-based fMRI, resting-state fMRI, DTI, VBM) to understand depression and suicidal behaviors in adolescents. Tiffany is particularly interested in adolescence because it is a sensitive period of (neuro)development whereby the incidence of mood disorders rises dramatically; as such, it may serve as an important window where well-designed interventions can lead to great improvements.

Kate is broadly interested in the development of psychopathology. Her work has largely centered on early adversity, as stress in early life increases the risk for a number of difficulties across the lifespan. Kate’s postdoctoral research at Stanford is focused on examining how early experiences manifest physiologically, as well as identifying potential avenues to enhance the caregiving environment for children at risk for psychopathology.

Elena is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences through a National Institute of Mental Health T32 Institutional Fellowship, and she works jointly with Ian Gotlib and Alan Schatzberg. Elena has a background in studying processes that underlie successful self-regulation, such as reward responsiveness and cognitive control, and the genetic and environmental contributors to self-regulatory dysfunction and associated implications for psychopathology. She has a broad interest in understanding the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder and investigating genetic and other individual different variables that impact disorder presentation, neural dysfunction, and treatment.
