Saurabh S. Thosar, Ph.D, a postdoctoral researcher at the Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences has been awarded a First Award Fellowship from the National Space Biomedical Research Institute.
Adverse health outcomes resulting from sleep loss and circadian desynchronization is an area of importance for both astronauts and shift workers. The goal of this ground-based study is to identify an endogenous circadian rhythm in vascular endothelial function. Further, this project will test the effect of circadian misalignment on vascular function.
Steven A. Shea, PhD is the mentor and principal investigator of this project and Saurabh S. Thosar, PhD is the First Award Fellow. The work will be performed in a new facility recently built as part of the Oregon Clinical & Translational Research Center at OHSU.
