Delegate Short Bio: Gulcin Benbir Senel is a Professor of Neurology, and her research is focused on sleep medicine, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behavior disorder and narcolepsy. She has a broad background in Neurology, with specific training and expertise in Sleep Medicine. As PI or co-Investigator on several university- and TUBITAK-funded grants, She lays the groundwork for the proposed research by developing effective measures of sleep quality and sleep disorders, relevant to patients with neurological disorders, by establishing strong ties with community providers that will make it possible to recruit and track participants over time as documented in the following publications. In addition, she successfully administered the projects (e.g. staffing, research protections, budget), collaborated with other researchers, and produced several peer-reviewed publications from each project. She is actively engaged with my research projects and collaborations since 2015.
