Dr. Stanford is Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, in the Division of Brain Stimulation and Therapeutic Modulation where she has served as a lecturer, instructor, and mentor in psychiatry courses and residency training. She is also a Research Psychiatrist in the Division of Brain Stimulation and Therapeutic Modulation at New York State Psychiatric Institute, which focuses on the use of emerging electromagnetic means of modulating brain function to study and treat psychiatric disorders. These techniques include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), magnetic seizure therapy (MST), deep brain stimulation (DBS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Dr. Stanford is currently principal investigator on a major grant supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Dana Foundation, and the National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD). She is actively pursuing research in the treatment and pathophysiology of schizophrenia, with particular respect to negative symptoms and social deficits in this patient population.

Dr. Stanford has authored or co-authored articles, chapters, reviews and editorials concerning schizophrenia, social cognition, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Her work has been published in Schizophrenia Research, Biological Psychiatry, and Neurology, among others. She also does peer reviewing of submissions to the American Journal of Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, Neuropsychopharmacology, Psychiatry Research, and Schizophrenia Research.

Dr. Stanford is an active member of several professional societies, including the American Psychiatric Association, the Association of Women Psychiatrists, the Association for Convulsive Therapy, and the Society of Biological Psychiatry. She is also the recipient of more than twenty honors and awards, including a Howard Hughes Research Fellowship Award, Janssen Translational Neuroscience Research Fellowship Award, NIMH K23 Career Development Award, and National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and Depression Brian Bass Young Investigator Award.
