Mission Statement

Research Interests: 1)Health and safety consequences of sleep and circadian disruption. 2)Influence of sleep and circadian rhythms on human physiology (neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune function) and behavior (sleepiness, memory, learning, mood, cognitive and motor performance) with application to public health and safety. 3)Countermeasures to improve sleep, wakefulness, and health.

Description

Current Research Projects

  • Impact of sleep and circadian disruption on the human microbiome and related changes in human physiology and cognition.
  • Biomarkers for insufficient sleep and circadian rhythm disruption (metabolomics and proteomics).
  • Tissue specific alterations in response to insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment.
  • Influence of sleep loss, sleep inertia and circadian disruption on cognitive function.
  • Countermeasures to improve sleep and wakefulness.
  • Physiological and behavioral mechanisms by which insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment contributes to metabolic dysregulation.
  • Countermeasures to improve cardiometabolic health during insufficient sleep.
  • Student-athlete sleep, health and performance.
