BIO

Professor Stein’s lab focuses on identifying markers for cardiovascular mortality, non-cardiovascular mortality, and nervous system dysfunction from continuous recordings of people’s hearts.

She also does work on sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea and other forms of sleep-disordered breathing, and she tries to integrate various physiological parameters to differentiate normal from abnormal sleep, then using the results to stratify people into different categories of risk.
