María de los Ángeles Rol de Lama

PhD (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and Lecturer at the University of Murcia (Department of Physiology). My current research as CronoLab co-director is mainly focused on circadian rhythm impairment (or chronodisruption) with the aim of identifying its causes and minimizing its potential impact on health (as it is a risk factor for several life-threatening conditions).
The results of this research have been published in 90 peer-review articles, books and book chapters. I have collaborated in 38 research projects/contracts and, together with the rest of theCronoLab members, I have received 11 research awards in several congresses and foundations, as well as co-authored 3 patents and 6 Intellectual Property Registrations. I have founded two spin-off companies devoted to circadian consulting in humans: Chronobiotech S. L. (2010-2012) and Kronohealth S. L. (2017-). Currently, I participate in a CIBER consortium focused on healthy aging research, as well as in a campaign on social networks (SueñOn®) for improving sleep in hospital environments.
