Dr. Valeria Jaramillo is a Wellcome Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of Surrey and an Emerging Leader at the UK DRI Care Research & Technology Centre. She holds affiliations with the School of Biosciences and School of Psychology. Her research focuses on REM sleep mechanisms, particularly using closed-loop auditory stimulation to modulate brain oscillations. She leads the REM sleep & neuroModulation (REMnM) Lab, investigating how REM sleep contributes to cognition and developing interventions for ageing and dementia.
Education: BSc in Biochemistry, MSc in Neuroscience, PhD in Sleep Research (ETH Zurich). Postdoctoral work included a Swiss National Science Foundation fellowship at the Baby Sleep Lab (University Hospital Zurich) and Surrey University under Prof. Derk-Jan Dijk and Dr. Ines Violante.
Research interests span REM sleep dynamics, neuromodulation techniques, and translational applications. Key areas include REM sleep's role in memory, mood, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Collaborations involve UK DRI and ETH Zurich.
- Awards: Wellcome Early Career Award, Swiss National Science Foundation Postdoc Mobility Fellowship
- Lab Focus: Multimodal assessment of REM sleep features, closed-loop interventions, and clinical translation
Her work bridges basic science and clinical practice, aiming to improve REM sleep quality through innovative stimulation protocols and biomarker development.
