Lara Foland-Ross
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioI am a neuroscientist and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, where I serve as Associate Director of Precision Mental Health Research Programs in the Stanford Center for Precision Mental Health (CPMH). My research uses neuroimaging, cognitive, and behavioral approaches to understand individual differences in the brain systems underlying mood and cognition, with the goal of translating these differences into more precise approaches to mental health care.
A central focus of my work is understanding how individual brain and behavioral patterns can inform prognosis and treatment selection for depression. Currently, I serve as Scientific Director and Co-Investigator of ACE-D (“Accelerating Cognition-guided signatures to Enhance translation in Depression”), a large NIH-funded study testing cognition-guided precision approaches to depression treatment.
I also serve as Scientific Program Lead and a Commissioner for the Nature Mental Health Precision Mental Health Commission, an international initiative working to define the field of precision mental health and accelerate the translation of its strongest science into meaningful clinical use.
Across these roles, I am particularly interested in bridging scientific discovery and clinical application—identifying where current approaches fall short, asking questions that can change how we understand mental health, and helping build practical paths from research findings to better decisions and outcomes for patients. -
