معرفی
Kathryn Jean Reid, PhD, is a Research Professor in the Department of Neurology (Sleep Medicine) at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. She is affiliated with the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine and the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS), and currently serves as Chair of the Sleep Research Society's Scientific Offerings Committee (2023–Present).
Dr. Reid's educational background includes:
- PhD from the University of Adelaide, Australia (1998)
- Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University in circadian rhythms (2000)
- Research Associate at Northwestern University in Sleep and Circadian Rhythms (2001)
Her research investigates how daily behaviors—including light exposure, meal timing, and physical activity—affect sleep and circadian health, with emphasis on cardiometabolic and cognitive outcomes in aging adults, pregnant women, and shift workers. Key findings demonstrate associations between nighttime light exposure and obesity/diabetes, cardiovascular impacts of ambient lighting during sleep, and therapeutic approaches for sleep apnea and insomnia.
Dr. Reid is an active member of the Society for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms (2020–Present), American Academy of Sleep Medicine (2019–Present), Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (1998–Present), and Sleep Research Society (1997–Present). No scientific awards are listed in the provided information.
The text does not specify any advisees, grants, or funding sources. Dr. Reid conducts her research within Northwestern's Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine and NUCATS, focusing on translational applications of circadian science to improve health outcomes through behavioral interventions.
