Erica Pedron is a PhD student and systems neuroscientist investigating the intricate interplay between neurons and astrocytes in regulating sleep. Her research focuses on uncovering the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie sleep disturbances, with a particular emphasis on insomnia. Combining preclinical and in vivo approaches, Erica is advancing our understanding of brain–glia communication and translating these insights toward the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Her work bridges fundamental neuroscience with drug discovery, aiming to open new avenues for treating sleep disorders.
