Please join us in congratulating Sammy Dhaliwal, who was recently awarded a one-year R36 dissertation grant from the NIH, entitled "The role of sleep disturbance in the development of perinatal depression". Her study will examine the role of negative daily stress appraisals, as a pathway through which deficient sleep gives rise to perinatal depression. Sammy's advisor at GW is Dr. Mimi Le, with co-advisor Dr. Daniel Lewin at Children's National Medical Center.
