Scott A. Sands, Ph.D., serves as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and holds dual appointments as Associate Physiologist and Lead Investigator within the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at Brigham and Women's Hospital. His academic affiliation resides in the Department of Medicine, with cross-departmental responsibilities spanning Medicine and Neurology at the hospital.
Dr. Sands' research centers on sleep physiology and circadian rhythm disorders, with specific focus on obstructive sleep apnea pathophysiology and translational mechanisms of sleep-disordered breathing. His work integrates clinical physiology with sleep medicine to address diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in sleep disorders, emphasizing the physiological consequences of disrupted sleep architecture.
As Lead Investigator for the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, he directs research initiatives examining the neural control of breathing during sleep, ventilatory instability mechanisms, and cardiopulmonary consequences of sleep-disordered breathing. His laboratory collaborates extensively with the Medical Chronobiology Program and Sleep Apnea Translational Physiology Group to advance understanding of sleep-related breathing disorders.
