Ana C. DiRago, Ph.D.
Academic Staff - Hourly - CSL, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Ana DiRago is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine and a faculty member of the Stanford Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship. She serves as site supervisor for the fellowship’s Santa Clara County Superior Court rotation, supervising fellows who conduct court-appointed forensic psychiatric examinations, including evaluations of competency to stand trial and criminal responsibility. She provides didactic instruction and supervision in psychological testing, malingering detection, and the preparation of psychiatric reports in criminal matters.
A licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. DiRago specializes in comprehensive diagnostic psychological and neuropsychological assessment across the lifespan. Her clinical work addresses emotional, behavioral, cognitive, adaptive, and academic functioning, with particular expertise in the differential diagnosis of complex presentations involving ADHD, learning and intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, severe and persistent mental illness, and cognitive decline. She also conducts forensic evaluations involving competency, criminal responsibility, personal injury, disability, immigration, and other psycholegal questions.
Dr. DiRago is a member of the Santa Clara County Court’s Forensic Panel Advisory Committee, where she advises on best practices in forensic evaluation and the selection of qualified court-appointed evaluators. Her scholarship has addressed developmental psychopathology, resilience, personality, and the assessment and prevention of aggression and violence in schools. -
Jasmine Dobbs-Marsh, PsyD
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Jasmine Dobbs-Marsh is a licensed psychologist who specializes in the management of trauma, complex trauma, interpersonal anxiety, mood disorders, identity-related concerns, and relationship conflict. She received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium and her BA with Distinction in Psychology and Political Science from Stanford University. She completed her clinical internship at the UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services and her postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University’s School of Medicine. She provides psychotherapy and clinical supervision from an intersectional lens. Dr. Dobbs-Marsh currently serves patients through the DBT Clinics at Stanford School of Medicine.

Shaul Druckmann
Associate Professor of Neurobiology, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research goal is to understand how dynamics in neuronal circuits relate and constrain the representation of information and computations upon it. We adopt three synergistic strategies: First, we analyze neural circuit population recordings to better understand the relation between neural dynamics and behavior, Second, we theoretically explore the types of dynamics that could be associated with particular network computations. Third, we analyze the structural properties of neural circuits.

Laramie Duncan
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur work is at the intersection of statistical genetics, psychiatry, and neuroscience. We use massive datasets and primarily computational approaches to identify mechanisms contributing to mental health problems like schizophrenia and depression. The overall goal of the lab is to discover fundamental information about psychiatric disorders, and ultimately to build more effective approaches to classification, prevention, and treatment.

Timothy Durazzo
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health and Population Sciences)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe mission of the Durazzo BRASS lab is to better understand how the interplay between biomedical, psychological and social factors influence treatment outcome in Veterans and civilians seeking treatment for alcohol and substance use disorders. To accomplish this mission, our multidisciplinary team integrates information from advanced neuroimaging, neurocognitive assessment, psychodiagnostic and genotyping methods to identify the biopsychosocial factors associated with relapse and sustained sobriety. Data from Veteran's Administration and Stanford funded Clinical trials are currently being analyzed by the BRASS lab to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques as novel complementary treatments to reduce the high rate of return to hazardous drinking experienced by individuals with alcohol and substance abuse disorders. The ultimate goal of our multidisciplinary research program is to promote the development of more effective biomedical and behavioral treatments for alcohol and substance use disorders through consideration of the brain biology, psychology and social circumstances of each individual.
