Summary
- Professor of Clinical Neurology at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine. As a McKnight Institute for Brain Research member, I am focusing on aging and the intersection between sleep disorders, cerebrovascular disease, and neurocognitive aging in population-based studies. As an investigator, I have also been involved with the Northern Manhattan Study and the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) since 2010. Further, I was the Miami site-PI for the ancillary sleep study, Sueño (R01HL098297)-Sleep as a Risk Factor for Disease in HCHS/SOL. Sueño aimed to determine the prevalence of abnormal sleep patterns in 2,200 Latinos using actigraphy. I was the PI for an HCHS/SOL ancillary study that evaluated sleep apnea, actigraphic sleep duration with impaired cerebral hemodynamics using transcranial Doppler ultrasound in 98 participants at the Miami field site.
This work led to an R01, titled Sleep in Neurocognitive Aging and Alzheimer’s Research, which is a five-year, $13 million grant from the National Institutes of Aging to Study the impact of obstructive sleep apnea and nocturnal blood pressure on the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in Hispanic/Latino adults.
I am a Fellow of the C-Change Institute on Leadership and Mentorship from Brandeis University. I was the Chair of the Young Investigator Research Forum for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Foundation (AASMF). I am also the Founding Chair of the yearlong Sleep Research Fellowship Committee (SOAR program) of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Foundation. I am part of the Editorial board for CHEST of the American College of Chest Physicians and of Brain and Life Magazine for the American Academy of Neurology. I am part of the Sleep Disorders Research Advisory Board for the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research for the National
