Dr. Jennifer Frankovich’s primary research and clinical interest is the intersection of mental health and systemic inflammation. 


She co-founded and directs the Stanford Immune Behavioral Health Clinic and Research Program (2012- present) where she and a team of psychiatrists, rheumatologists, and an immunologist are caring for patients with infection and autoimmune related psychiatric diseases.
