  • Matthew Fitzgerald, PhD

    Matthew Fitzgerald, PhD

    Associate Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research encompasses several translational projects. One focus is to modify the routine audiologic test battery such that it places equal weight on hearing acuity and hearing function. This work includes measures of speech in noise, or electrophysiologic responses such as the FFR. I also explore tools to better assess and maximize performance in users of hearing aids and cochlear implants. Finally, I am also investigating the benefits of telemedicine, and new treatments for tinnitus.

  • Annesa Flentje

    Annesa Flentje

    Professor (Research) of Medicine (Stanford Prevention Research Center)

    BioAnnesa Flentje, PhD, is a Professor at Stanford University in the Stanford Prevention Research Center, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine. Dr. Flentje is a clinical psychologist who uses multiple methods to understand the impacts of stress and coping on human health and disease. Her research has investigated how stress directly impacts health outcomes and how these processes are mediated through both behaviors (e.g., substance use and coping) and molecular mechanisms (e.g., epigenetics and transcriptional regulation). Dr. Flentje has developed cognitive behavioral interventions to reduce stress, and identified these as a mechanism to alter immune pathways in gene expression. Dr. Flentje is currently leading a large comparative effectiveness study of two interventions for posttraumatic stress symptoms among LGBTQIA+ populations in California. Dr. Flentje has developed and led nationwide mentoring initiatives to support health research of understudied populations and translational research to improve health. Dr. Flentje is Co-Director of The PRIDE Study (pridestudy.org), a national longitudinal cohort study of LGBTQIA+ individuals within the United States that has enrolled over 30,000 participants and is approaching 10 years of data collection.

  • Lara Foland-Ross

    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.
