Ralph Mistlberger
Ralph Mistlberger conducts research on the neural mechanisms and functions of circadian timekeeping and sleep in mammals. He is internationally recognized for empirical and theoretical contributions to our understanding of how animals use circadian clocks to exploit temporal regularities in the availability of resources necessary for survival. He has provided expertise to professional sports teams and shiftwork employers seeking to minimize sleep and performance disruptions associated with travel or night work. He is a previous recipient of a Dean’s Medal for Academic Excellence (2011) and was recently recognized by the Canadian Society for Chronobiology with a Career Achievement Award (2025). He trained in biopsychology at McGill University (BA Hons., 1979), in sleep science at the University of Chicago (PhD, 1984), and in circadian neuroscience as a postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie University and Harvard Medical School before joining the Psychology department at Â鶹ÊÓƵ in 1988.
