California Institute of Technology with a Ph.D. in Other academic Robert H. Crabtree, John T.
2001, where she studied Chemistry with Robert H. advisors Groves
Grubbs. She did postdoctoral work at Princeton
University, where she studied with John T. Groves.[5]

Sanford began her academic career as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in 2003. She

Research
Sanford is best known for her studies of high-valent organopalladium species, particularly those
implicated in Pd-catalyzed C–H functionalization reactions.[6][7] Her group has also developed new
methods to access fluorinated and radiofluorinated materials for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals[8] and
radiology.[9] In a collaboration with Matthew Sigman at the University of Utah her group has designed
new compounds for use in redox flow batteries.[10][11]
