Description

Jesse Cook is a PhD candidate in the Dr. David Plante Sleep Research Laboratory and studies biological, psychological and sociological factors that connect with unexplained excessive sleepiness.

He was first drawn to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research through the connection between sleep health and AD, and the prevention, detection and potential treatment implications of this connection.

Cook believes sleep health disparities across underrepresented groups may help explain disproportionate risk of AD. He is currently completing his dissertation and intends to pursue a career in behavioral sleep medicine as a clinical psychologist.
