Kathryn Stephens
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesBioKathryn C. Stephens, MD, is currently a resident in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She completed a BA in anthropology at Harvard University, an MD at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and an internship year in Obstetrics & Gynecology residency at the Texas Tech Health Science Center in El Paso.
During her time at Harvard, she conducted research with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI in Boston) on the role of mobile clinics’ in providing primary care and preventative screenings to medically underserved areas. She continued her interest in providing care in resource-limited settings after college as she worked for one year in a women’s crisis center in Bangalore, India. During medical school, she held leadership roles in the Global Health Interest Group and continued her work in free clinics both locally and abroad in Panama, Honduras, and Guatemala. She conducted research on obstetric emergencies such as placenta accreta, which informed her understanding of birth trauma and its impact on women’s mental health. During her time in Ob/Gyn residency, she was awarded for the top score on the annual knowledge exam in her program as a first-year resident. Prior to beginning her training at Stanford, she had the privilege of contributing to several projects in the in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences' Race and Mental Health Lab as the lab's Research Coordinator. One such project included writing a curriculum for active bystander intervention of workplace discrimination (i.e. "Upstander Bias Training"), which has been taught to several departments within the Stanford School of Medicine.
Her areas of clinical and research interest include women’s reproductive psychiatry, the intersection of race, culture and mental health, integrative approaches to wellness and community psychiatry. -

Eric Stice
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health and Population Sciences)
BioDr. Stice served as an assistant professor and associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin and as a Senior Research Scientist at Oregon Research Institute before joining the faculty at Stanford University. His research focuses on identifying risk factors that predict onset of eating disorders, obesity, substance abuse, and depression to advance knowledge regarding etiologic processes, including the use of functional neural imaging. He also designs, evaluates, and disseminates prevention and treatment interventions for eating disorders, obesity, and depression. For instance, he developed a dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program that has been implemented with over 6 million young girls in 140 countries. He has published 335 articles in high-impact outlets, including Science, Psychological Bulletin, Archives of General Biological Psychiatry, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and Journal of Neuroscience.

Wiebke Struckmann
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Struckmann earned her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Psychology from the University of Jena in Germany, followed by a Ph.D. in Clinical Neuroscience from Uppsala University in Sweden. Throughout her doctoral studies, Dr. Struckmann used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in a neuroimaging-guided clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex to alleviate anhedonia in individuals with depression and schizophrenia.
Dr. Struckmann joined the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab as a Postdoctoral Scholar in September 2022. Presently, she leads a clinical trial examining personalized therapeutic neuromodulation for anhedonic depression. Driven by her passion for innovative research methodologies, Dr. Struckmann incorporates personalized task designs and physiological assessments to untangle the intricate relationships between cognition, emotion, and psychiatric symptoms, extending her investigations to include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. Dr. Struckmann’s primary objective is to advance both our comprehension and treatment of mental health conditions through probing target networks in the brain.
