Andrea Goldstein-Piekarski directs the Computational Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Sleep Laboratory (CoPsyN Sleep Lab) at Stanford University. She holds the position of Assistant Professor (Research) in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, focusing on Sleep Medicine. Dr. Goldstein-Piekarski completed her PhD in Neuroscience/Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley in 2014 and has undertaken a Postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford, concentrating on the understanding of brain mechanisms underlying anxiety and depression. Her research program aims to combine human neuroimaging, high-density EEG sleep recording, and computational modeling to uncover the neural mechanisms of sleep disruption that contribute to affective disorders, particularly depression. She strives to develop interventions targeting sleep and brain function to prevent and treat mood disorders and identify biomarkers for predicting responses to these interventions. Dr. Goldstein-Piekarski's work is supported by notable institutions, including the KLS Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health.
