Research interest
Our group investigates the vicious cycle between deteriorating sleep quality and cognitive decline in old age. We focus on the relationship between healthy sleep, memory functions and clearance of metabolic waste products like amyloid beta. By employing non-invasive techniques to enhance sleep, we try to break this vicious cycle.
