Seyni Gueye-Ndiaye

Seyni Gueye-Ndiaye, M.D. serves as an Instructor in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School with dual clinical appointments at Boston Children's Hospital (Department of Pediatrics) and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary). Her research focuses on the intersection of pediatric sleep disorders, respiratory health, and health disparities, with particular emphasis on sleep-disordered breathing in urban pediatric populations.

Dr. Gueye-Ndiaye's research interests center on pediatric sleep medicine, with specific focus on sleep-disordered breathing, asthma interactions, environmental influences on sleep, and health disparities. Her work examines how socioeconomic factors, neighborhood disadvantage, and environmental exposures like air pollution impact sleep outcomes in children. She has conducted significant research on the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS), investigating how surgical interventions affect respiratory symptoms in children with sleep-disordered breathing.

Analysis of her publication record from 2021-2025 reveals a strong focus on sleep health disparities, particularly examining how social determinants of health affect sleep outcomes in pediatric populations. Her work spans clinical research on adenotonsillectomy outcomes, environmental health studies on air pollution effects, and investigations into the relationship between asthma and sleep disorders. The publications demonstrate increasing focus on health disparities in sleep medicine, culminating in her 2025 Annual Review of Medicine article on Sleep Health Disparities.

Dr. Gueye-Ndiaye collaborates extensively with prominent researchers in sleep medicine, particularly Susan Redline, with whom she has co-authored multiple high-impact publications. Her work appears in leading journals including Sleep Medicine Reviews, CHEST, Annals of the American Thoracic Society, and Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

She maintains active involvement in both clinical care and research, with publications spanning clinical studies, systematic reviews, and textbook chapters including a contribution to Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics. Her research has garnered significant attention, with several publications receiving substantial citations and media coverage.
