CICMD Invited Speakers Series
“Human Variation in Sleep Patterns: Implications for Cardiometabolic Disease Risk”.
July 1st, 2020. Zoom invited talk will begin at noon.
Kristen Knutson is a biomedical anthropologist and she is currently an Associate Professor in the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine in the Department of Neurology at Northwestern University. As an anthropologist, she is particular interested in how sociocultural factors interact with physiology to impact sleep health. As such, her research also examines whether sleep and circadian rhythms partially mediate socioeconomic and/or racial/ethnic disparities in these chronic diseases.
