Job Description

The Sunnybrook Sleep and Brain Health Laboratory is dedicated to unraveling the biological links between sleep and circadian rhythms and neurological diseases in older adults. We are laying the foundation for 1) sleep-based interventions to prevent neurological diseases, slow progression, and promote recovery, and 2) mechanistically-informed therapies to improve sleep in older adults with neurological diseases. Toward this end, we leave local, national, and international studies involving thousands of participants integrating novel wearable technologies for measuring sleep and circadian rhythms, new sleep interventions, neuroimaging, genomics, and tissue transcriptomics/epigenomics.
