Research

The Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine (CCSM) continues to initiate novel research studies, including basic and translational research, clinical trials, and technology development, that we believe will ultimately lead to improved health outcomes for our patients with circadian rhythm and sleep disorders. Our interdisciplinary teams are now capitalizing on seminal insights into how disturbed or inadequate sleep—independently or coupled with disturbed circadian timing—has been linked to an increased prevalence of disease and disorders including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and mental illness.
