Research Interests
Dr. Semba’s research focus is on the neurobiology of sleep. Her approach is multifaceted, including basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of sleep/wake regulation, as well as cognitive and physiological consequences of chronic sleep loss. These questions are addressed using various combinations of behavioural, electrophysiological, anatomical, biochemical, and molecular techniques in rodent models.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
