Sigrid C. Veasey MD, DABSM

Dr. Sigrid Veasey is a Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine and Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the Perelman School of Medicine. Dr. Veasey’s laboratory focuses on identifying the molecular mechanisms underlying neural injury in sleep disorders and sleep disruption. The present focus of her lab is understanding the molecular mechanisms by which sleep disruption injures and even kills select neurons. Previously sleep researchers believed that all neurobehavioral consequences of sleep loss were fully reversible.
