Celia Kjærby
The role of sleep microarchitecture on cognitive abilities in Alzheimer’s disease
Celia Kjærby, Associate Professor and group leader, Center for Translational Neuromedicine, University of Copenhagen, has received a fellowship totaling DKK 10 million from the Lundbeck Foundation.
With this five-year research grant, Celia Kjærby will be able to establish her own research group at University of Copenhagen.
Sleep plays an important role in our cognitive functioning, and Celia Kjærby's research focuses on the microstructures in sleep that are responsible for memory storage during sleep.
Through her fellowship, Celia Kjærby will investigate whether disturbances in sleep microstructure play a role in the development of dementia in Alzheimer's disease, and whether it is possible to reduce the risk of dementia by altering the microstructures of sleep.
