Sending a well-deserved congratulations to SRI Biosciences's Tom Kilduff and team for receiving the SCNi Academic Prize Medal by the Sir Jules Thorn Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford!
Kilduff, Christelle Peyron, and the team were recognized for their seminal contributions to the hypocretin/orexin system, which is critical in the maintenance of wakefulness and is dysfunctional in the sleep disorder narcolepsy.
Kilduff, Peyron, and his team's work has also resulted in three FDA-approved medications for insomnia.
