Nobel Conference 60 - Marishka Brown

"Sleep and Circadian Health: A National Research Agenda"

Marishka Brown
Director, National Center on Sleep Disorders Research
at the National Institutes of Health

Healthful sleep matters. The duration, efficiency, timing, regularity, and quality of sleep all contribute
to our overall health as individuals, and as a society. Disparities in sleep health—when people are
consistently disadvantaged in one or more of these dimensions and experience adverse effects—are
public health issues. Shift work, poverty, social isolation, and job stress can all contribute to reducing
sleep quality for entire populations.

Marishka Brown is Director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, National Institutes of Health. She
holds a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
