Congratulations are in order for Dr Lukas Krone who is one of just five University of Oxford researchers selected to attend the Global Young Scientists Summit 2021.
Congratulations are in order for Lukas Krone, who has been presented the 2020 Christian Guilleminault Young Investigator Award by the World Sleep Society.
Two new papers from the Vyazovskiy Group and both Oxford University and international collaborators have made important progress in bridging the gap between the local and global levels of sleep regulation.
Associate Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy has edited a special issue of Current Opinion of Physiology with Professor A. Jennifer Morton from the University of Cambridge. \u201cPhysiology of Sleep\u201d compiles the latest developments in sleep research around the complex question of \u2018why do we sleep?\u2019
Congratulations are in order for Wellcome Trust doctoral student Cristina Blanco Duque, the winner of the Travel Award and the Award for Best Contribution at the International Conference of Advanced Sleep Modulation Technologies.
The new Physiological Society report \"Growing Older, Better\" highlights physiology's role in meeting the UK Government's healthy ageing mission. Associate Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy and Novo Nordisk Postdoctoral Fellow Laura McKillop\u00a0contributed a research spotlight at the report's launch at the Houses of Parliament.
Associate Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy has co-authored a paper based on a pioneering sleep study led by Oxford Brookes researchers. Their research into a nocturnal primate performed in the wild is the first of its kind and could enhance our understanding of human sleep.
The talks given by Postdoctoral Research Scientists and Graduate Students highlighted the full range of research in DPAG, spanning molecular and cellular neuroscience all the way to systems neuroscience.
A collaborative Medical Research Council project grant awarded to DPAG's Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, UCL's Kenneth Harris and the Department of Pharmacology's Colin Akerman will explore \u201cLocal sleep homeostasis and single cell rest.\"
Associate Professor Vyazovskiy's studentship, \u2018Fasting-induced torpor in mice: effects on sleep and behaviour\u2019 offers a fantastic new opportunity for early career researchers.
Last week Vladyslav Vyazovskiy gave a talk at a symposium entitled \"Harnessing naturally evolved torpor to benefit human spaceflight\" at the American Physiological Society Conference in New Orleans, alongside NASA astronaut Jessica Meir.
Professor Vyazovskiy is part of a team of experts tasked by the European Space Agency with investigating whether and how we might be able to put humans into a state of stasis to enable long-distance space travel.
