Russell Foster

Russell Foster is a renowned neuroscientist who studies how our brain controls sleep, wakefulness, and light perception. His research explores how our circadian rhythms—our internal biological clock—are influenced by light, affecting sleep patterns, mood, and health. Foster has advanced understanding of how disruptions to these rhythms, such as irregular sleep or light exposure, can impact well-being. He also investigates the roles of specific brain cells in regulating these processes, aiming to develop better treatments for sleep disorders and related conditions. His work bridges neuroscience and chronobiology to improve overall health through better management of our biological clocks.
