Did your smart watch tell you that you didn't get enough sleep? Well today's guest is here to tell you that data is not complete. Meet Dr. Russell G. Foster, the Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology and of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford. In other words, he has thought a lot about sleep and the science of it for a long time! In his studies he has uncovered the issues with trying to find a “one-size solution for all"" solution to sleep challenges, and wants to help us rethink how we understand our rest for better wellness. Discover how to better measure your sleep and understand the impacts on our brain when we don’t get enough of it. Join us at Dear Workplace as we delve into the science of sleep and how you can rethink you and your team's wellness. "
Her lab utilizes human neuroimaging, high-density EEG, computational methods, and clinical psychology to examine the role of sleep physiology and circadian misalignment in the development, maintenance, and treatment of psychopathology across the lifespan. A primary goal of this research is to identify novel sleep and neuroimaging related biomarkers of treatment response that could be used to better match patients to effective treatments.
Russell Foster is Professor of Circadian Neuroscience and the Head of Department of Ophthalmology. He is also a Nicholas Kurti Senior Fellow at Brasenose College. Prior to this, Russell was at Imperial College where Russell was Chair of Molecular Neuroscience within the Faculty of Medicine. Russell Foster’s research spans basic and applied circadian and photoreceptor biology. He received his education at the University of Bristol under the supervision of Professor Sir Brian Follett. from 1988-1995 he was a member of the National Science Foundation Center for Biological Rhythms at the University of Virginia and worked closely with Michael Menaker. In 1995 he returned to the UK and established his group at Imperial College. For his discovery of non-rod, non-cone ocular photoreceptors he has been awarded the Honma prize (Japan), Cogan award (USA), and Zoological Society Scientific & Edride-Green Medals (UK). He is the co-author of “Rhythms of Life” a popular science book on circadian rhythms.
