The SAM Lab is interested in the role of sleep and circadian regulation in metabolic and cardiovascular homeostasis. Specifically, we study how sleep and circadian disruption impair whole body and tissue-specific function, and whether improving the timing of behaviors such as sleep, exercise and eating can improve health and reduce disease risk.
