Brianne Kent is a Research Fellow in the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Her research aims to identify the maladaptive changes in the circadian system associated with Alzheimer's disease, with the hope of identifying novel targets for therapeutics that will prevent the devastating memory loss associated with the disease, improve the quality of life of patients and their families, and reduce the economic burden of Alzheimer's disease. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, earned her MSc and MPil from Yale University, and received her B.A. from Simon Fraser University.
