Valérie Mongrain, Ph.D., is a full professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Université de Montréal and a researcher at the CHUM Research Centre. She is a member of the Sleep Research Society, the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms, the Canadian Sleep Society, the Canadian Association for Neuroscience, and a founding member of the Canadian Society for Chronobiology. Her primary research program, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, aims to understand the molecular physiology of the processes regulating sleep. Mongrain's work focuses on identifying the molecules responsible for the various consequences of sleep deprivation on brain function, including memory, mood, and performance. Her team employs molecular and biochemical research methods and whole genome analysis, as well as genetic engineering techniques and assessments of memory, behavior, and brain electrical activity. These efforts are expected to advance understanding of the effects of sleep deprivation on behavior, cognition, and mental health.
