Elizabeth Fenton Susman Professor of Biobehavioral Health
The causes of chronic sleep deficiency in the workplace, home, and society; the health consequences of chronic sleep deficiency, especially cardiometabolic outcomes, and the physiologic and social mechanisms by which these outcomes arise. Successful aging is a central focus of this work. Ongoing interdisciplinary human studies involve sleep loss, aging, and insomnia, as well as health disparities.

Genetic analysis of sleep and circadian rhythms, cardio-metabolic function in humans; effects of light on sleep, circadian physiology, and neurobehavioral performance.
Suzanne Gonzalez
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and of Pharmacology
My laboratory
focuses on neuropsychiatric genetics in diverse populations. I am particularly
interested in understanding how genetic polymorphisms within key physiological
pathways translate into clinical phenotypes of psychiatric disorders, such as
bipolar disease and schizophrenia.
