Phyllis C. Zee Biography
Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, is the Benjamin and Virginia T. Boshes Professor in Neurology and serves as Director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine and Chief of the Division of Sleep Medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. Zee is also the medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Her research spans basic and clinical investigations into circadian rhythms, sleep, and the impact of sleep and circadian disorders on cardiometabolic disease risk.
Zee founded the first circadian medicine clinic in the United States, providing treatments for patients with circadian rhythm disorders. As director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, she leads an interdisciplinary program focused on basic and translational research in sleep and circadian rhythms. Her work centers on the interactions between circadian and sleep processes and their influence on cardiometabolic and neurologic disorders, with emphasis on aging and neurodegeneration. Zee's laboratory investigates the effects of circadian-sleep-based interventions, such as exercise, bright light, and feed-fast schedules, on cognitive, cardiovascular, and metabolic functions. She contributed to the development of a blood test that identifies individuals' internal clock times.
Zee has authored more than 300 peer-reviewed articles, reviews, and book chapters on sleep, circadian rhythms, and sleep/wake disorders. She co-edited the "Handbook of Sleep Medicine" and served as guest editor for clinical volumes including "Science of Circadian Rhythms, An Issue of Sleep Medicine Clinics" and "Circadian Rhythm Disorders, An Issue of Neurologic Clinics." Zee has trained over 50 pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students and mentored numerous faculty members. Her research addresses sleep quality and patterns in underrepresented minority populations and examines health disparities related to sleep, socioeconomic and environmental factors, and access to treatment.
Zee is past president of the Sleep Research Society, past president of the Sleep Research Foundation, past chair of the NIH Sleep Disorders Research Advisory Board, and has served as president of the World Sleep Society. She serves as an editorial board member of The Lancet Neurology. Zee has received several honors, including the American Academy of Neurology Sleep Science Award, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine William C. Dement Academic Achievement Award, the Sleep Research Society Distinguished Scientist Award, and the National Sleep Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. Her research, clinical work, and advocacy have contributed to advancements in sleep medicine, circadian rhythm research, and public health.
