  • Astrid Nicole Zamora

    Astrid Nicole Zamora

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Epidemiology

    BioDr. Astrid N. Zamora is a public health researcher and epidemiologist whose work examines how environmental factors—including built and chemical exposures—and key health behaviors such as sleep, diet, and physical activity influence cardiometabolic and related health outcomes. Her research integrates epidemiologic methods with community-based participatory approaches, with the goal of translating findings into evidence-based public health strategies that promote chronic disease prevention and support healthy aging.

  • James L. Zehnder, M.D.

    James L. Zehnder, M.D.

    Professor of Pathology (Research) and of Medicine (Hematology)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research and clinical interests include molecular pathogenesis of acquired cytopenias, genetic testing for inherited non-malignant hematologic disorders, next-generation sequencing approaches to T and B cell clonality testing, somatic mutations in cancer and assessment of minimal residual disease in cancer patients.

  • Jamie Zeitzer

    Jamie Zeitzer

    Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Sleep Medicine)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Zeitzer is a circadian physiologist specializing in the understanding of the impact of light on circadian rhythms and other aspects of non-image forming light perception.
    He examines the manner in which humans respond to light and ways to manipulate this responsiveness, with direct application to jet lag, shift work, and altered sleep timing in teens. Dr. Zeitzer has also pioneered the use of actigraphy in the determination of epiphenomenal markers of psychiatric disorders.
