The Quebec Sleep Research Network aims to propel sleep research into a highly innovative and multidisciplinary science with a significant impact on the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the population throughout the lifespan.
Who Are We?
The Quebec Sleep Research Network regroups 90 researchers and hundreds of trainees and research staff. The network is highly interdisciplinary, including fields such neuroscience, psychology, medicine, nursing, chronobiology, management, public health, and data science. It also brings together physicians, psychologists and technologists working in sleep medicine, as well as patients, citizens, non-profit, and industrial partners.
