Sleep Medicine Fellowship Research

David Rapoport, MD, is the Director of the Sleep Medicine Research Program. The sleep fellowship program is a highly competitive one-year program with an optional second year through a Multidisciplinary T32 Sleep Research Training Grant for those interested in research. The goals of the Sleep Research Program are to study sleep pathophysiology and study the effects that sleep and sleep disorders have on other organ systems as well as to maximize the opportunities for training and support for young academic researchers in this area. Dr. Rapoport’s team includes several NIH funded investigators i.e. Indu Ayappa, PhD , Neomi Shah, MD, MPH, MS , Neurologist Andrew Varga, MD, PhD, Vaishnavi Kundel, MD, MS, Ankit Parekh, PhD, Korey Kam, PhD, and Anna Mullins, PhD. The sleep fellow will have numerous opportunities to collaborate with these researchers on various projects to contribute to the advancement of sleep medicine.
