On October 27, 2023 we'll feature the work of Stephen F Smagula, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, as our Meet the PI lecture series continues.
Dr. Smagula is a clinical translational researcher focused on understanding how modifiable sleep-wake behaviors shape mood in older adults; and how pragmatic interventions addressing sleep-wake risk factors can improve mood outcomes. In this talk, Dr. Smagula will review evidence regarding which sleep-wake risk factors are associated with outcomes such as depression symptoms and suicidal ideation. In addition, we will cover novel treatment approaches target sleep-wake disruption, and results from preliminary trials evaluating their effects on mood.
