Her clinical expertise is in systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that co-occur with psychiatric symptoms. She completed her training in pediatrics, pediatric rheumatology, and clinical epidemiology at Stanford University/LPCH.
She directs the Stanford Immune-Behavioral Health Program (2012- present) where she and her psychiatry/psychology collaborators have created a longitudinal clinical database and biorepository of patient and healthy control biospecimens.
