NIH Director's Seminar: Determinants and health consequences of sleep disparities
to
Wilson Hall, NIH Building 1; and NIH videocast
The sixth lecture lecture in the 2024-2025 NIH Director's Seminar Series will be presented by IRP senior investigator Chandra Jackson, Ph.D.
Sleep health influences every facet of human function and is essential for optimal physical and mental health. Since the drive to sleep is not entirely endogenous and is affected by exogenous features of the environment, Dr. Jackson's research group focuses on identifying the social, behavioral, and biological pathways linking modifiable physical (e.g., light and temperature) and social (e.g., psychosocial stress) environmental factors to downstream sleep and subsequent health outcomes. During this presentation, Dr. Jackson will summarize epidemiological evidence illustrating how disparate exposure to various environmental factors contribute to disparities in sleep health and subsequent cardiometabolic health.
