Lara Foland-Ross
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioI am an Academic Research Scientist in Neuroscience and Precision Mental Health in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. I use a variety of imaging modalities to examine the neural and behavioral mechanisms of mood and cognition. The primary aim of my work is to understand how individual brain patterns can be leveraged in treatment planning for depression. My primary projects include the ACE-D study ("Accelerating Cognition-guided signatures to Enhance translation in Depression") in the Stanford Center for Precision Mental Health and Wellness. I deeply value the process of acting on curiosity, learning from challenges, and applying creative solutions to both highlight and address gaps in our understanding of depression and other mental health conditions.

Jelle Folkerts
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. Folkerts received his master's degree in Drug Innovation from Utrecht University in the Netherlands, during which he spent a year at the Galli lab at Stanford on a Fulbright Scholarship. During this time, Dr. Folkerts played a key role in developing a technology platform employing functional genomics and high-resolution single-cell confocal imaging, enabling the rapid identification of degranulation regulators in primary human mast cells. Following his time at Stanford, Dr. Folkerts studied the regulatory mechanisms of human mast cell activation under the guidance of Rudi Hendriks and Marcus Maurer, earning his Ph.D. in 2022. He then returned to Stanford as a postdoctoral fellow in the Galli lab, where his current research focuses on the identification of human mast cell degranulation regulators using a whole-genome CRISPR knockout library screen, and the validation of these findings using the recently developed technology platform. It is his long-standing goal to contribute to the design and development of specific and effective therapeutic interventions for mast cell-mediated diseases.

Sai Folmsbee, MD, PhD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research interest is the intersection of psychiatry and neuroimmunology. I am currently collaborating with Stanford Neuroimmunology in a retrospective analysis of patient data to determine the relationship between psychaitric medications and clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with mutliple sclerosis, autoimmune encephalitis, and neuromyelitis optica.
