Sleep & Circadian Science

Dr. Sairam Parthasarathy is the Director of the Center for Sleep, Circadian and Neuroscience Research at the University of Arizona. He leads the Xtreme Research study - the first-ever investigation into how extreme polar environments affect women's reproductive, sleep, and circadian health.

His research employs wearable technology and advanced physiological monitoring to track how women's bodies regulate themselves when exposed to 24-hour daylight, sub-zero temperatures, and high physical stress. The findings will contribute to both polar science and the future of human space exploration.
