BioDr. Patel has been working with children with autism and other disabilities for over 20 years. She is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Dr. Patel received a BS degree from the University of California at Davis in 1996 in Psychology with an emphasis in Biology. She continued her graduate training in Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Dr. Patel received her PhD in Psychology with an emphasis in Behavior Analysis.
She completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2001. Dr. Patel joined the faculty at the Marcus and Kennedy Krieger Institutes in 2001 and Emory University School of Medicine in 2002. Dr. Patel was a case manager in the Pediatric Feeding Disorders and Early Intervention Programs at the Marcus and Kennedy Krieger Institutes from 2001-2003. In 2003, she started Clinic 4 Kidz, which is a home-based Interdisciplinary Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program. Currently, she serves as the Executive Director of Clinic 4 Kidz.
Her research and clinical interests focus on treating feeding problems in children who have underlying medical issues (e.g., prematurity, failure to thrive [FTT], tube dependence, gastroesophageal reflux [GER], food allergies, etc.). In addition, she has expertise in working with children with autism, more specifically treating food selectivity by type and/or texture.
She currently serves on the editorial board of Behavioral Development which is a journal of the American Psychological Association. She formerly served on the editorial boards for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and Education and Treatment of Children. Dr. Patel also serves as a guest reviewer for several journals. She has published over 20 research studies in peer-reviewed journals and has authored two invited book chapters.

Michele Lanpher Patel
Instructor, Medicine - Stanford Prevention Research Center
BioMichele L. Patel, PhD is an Instructor in the Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on optimizing digital health interventions for treating & preventing obesity. Digital interventions have potential for serving as first-line obesity treatments given their accessibility, low cost, and personalization. Dr. Patel is interested in testing innovative strategies to enhance engagement in these digital interventions. Leveraging an 'intervention optimization' paradigm (the Multiphase Optimization Strategy, MOST), she examines the unique and combined weight loss effects of intervention strategies. Optimizing interventions facilitates maximizing clinical impact while minimizing patient burden and healthcare costs.
Dr. Patel received a career development award from NIH (K23; 2022-2027). This work investigates the most potent combination of self-monitoring strategies in a behavioral weight loss intervention for 176 adults with overweight or obesity. Dr. Patel is interested in using digital tools such as commercial apps, wearable devices, and text messaging to improve access to and engagement in treatment.
Dr. Patel received her BA in psychology from Duke University in 2010 and her PhD in clinical psychology from Duke in 2018. She completed her clinical internship at the VA Palo Alto, specializing in behavioral medicine, and her postdoctoral fellowship at the Stanford Prevention Research Center.
Primary Research Interests:
-- Conducting clinical trials to optimize & evaluate digital health interventions for obesity
-- Improving engagement in self-monitoring and other behavioral intervention strategies
-- Identifying psychosocial factors (e.g., health literacy, stress) that impact treatment success
Methods:
-- RCTs, including factorial designs
-- embedded trials (study-within-a-trial)
-- systematic reviews
-- signal detection analysis
-- mixed methods & qualitative methods -
