معرفی
Matthew B Maas is a Professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine with primary appointments in the Department of Neurology (specializing in Hospital Neurology and Neurocritical Care) and secondary affiliation in Anesthesiology. He serves as Vice Chair of Inpatient Neurology and Chief of Hospital Neurology within the Department of Neurology, while maintaining key affiliations with the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, Center for Health Services & Outcomes Research (CHSOR), and Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS).
His research integrates sleep medicine and circadian biology with health services outcomes, particularly investigating how environmental factors like light exposure during sleep impact metabolic and cardiovascular health in aging populations. Recent work demonstrates significant associations between nighttime light exposure and increased risks of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in older adults, highlighting clinical implications for sleep hygiene interventions. His neurocritical care expertise focuses on optimizing acute neurological care delivery within hospital systems.
Through the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, Dr. Maas contributes to translational research bridging basic circadian science with clinical applications, while his CHSOR involvement drives health services studies aimed at improving neurological care quality, safety, and efficiency. This dual focus enables investigation of how sleep disruptions affect chronic disease management within complex healthcare systems.
Information regarding Dr. Maas's student mentorship, specific grant funding, and detailed publication history was not provided in the source materials.
He collaborates extensively across Northwestern's research ecosystem, particularly within the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine and CHSOR teams. These interdisciplinary groups combine clinical neurology, sleep physiology, and health services methodology to address public health challenges related to sleep disorders, circadian misalignment, and neurological care optimization in hospital settings.
