Dr. Winer's research combines wearable devices and disease biomarkers to explore how tracking sleep and other factors in everyday life can provide information about brain health, cognitive trajectories, and neurodegenerative processes. He conducted his postdoctoral training at Stanford University where he focused on PET imaging and fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disease.
Research Interests
- Sleep neurobiology
- Neurodegenerative disease
- Dementia and cognitive decline
