Di Sang

Di Sang is a Research Fellow at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. Their work focuses on molecular mechanisms governing sleep regulation, neuroimmunological responses, and circadian rhythms. Current affiliations include the McGovern Institute and MIT's broader Brain and Cognitive Sciences community.

Research interests integrate molecular biology with systems-level neuroscience, particularly studying how genetic and signaling pathways influence sleep homeostasis and circadian clocks. Recent work explores calcineurin's role in non-REM sleep regulation and cytokine responses during sleep deprivation. Studies also investigate high-altitude adaptation mutations affecting circadian rhythms in plateau pikas.

Publications demonstrate expertise in sleep physiology, neuroimmunology, and evolutionary adaptations in biological clocks. No awards or grants are listed in the provided materials. Currently affiliated with labs at MIT's McGovern Institute.
