Dr. Fishman joined the faculty of Stanford University School of Medicine in 2020 as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Since his appointment, Dr. Fishman has led medical psychiatry services on the medical/surgical units, intensive care units and in the emergency department at Stanford Hospital to provide psychiatric care for patients with acute diagnoses and provide graduate medical education to psychiatry, internal medicine, palliative care, oncology, and neurology trainees. His work on developing a framework for evidence-based best practice guidelines was recognized with a 2020 DLIN/Fischer finalist award.
Dr. Fishman is the appointed Chief of the Inpatient Proactive Psycho-Oncology Service, a service designed to proactively identify patients with psychopathology or who will require psychiatric intervention during their hospitalization. The service helps prevent development and escalation of psychopathology in the inpatient blood and marrow transplant and other cancer populations. His outpatient work is primarily as a psychiatric oncologist at the Stanford Cancer Center where he provides psychiatric consultation services and collaborates closely with his oncology colleagues to deliver comprehensive cancer care.
His clinical and scholarly interests include the interface of medicine and psychiatry, psycho-oncology, catatonia, neuropsychiatry, collaborative care models, psychotherapy for the medically ill, interdisciplinary and graduate medical education. -
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
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
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.
