Biography
Jen Walsh is a Lecturer at the Centre for Sleep Science in the School of Human Sciences at UWA and also holds a position as a Research Fellow at the West Australian Sleep Disorders Research Institute at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. Her early training included exercise physiology, vascular endothelial function and cardiac rehabilitation. For the past 15 years however she has focused her career on the physiology of sleep, investigating the causes of, and treatments for, sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnoea and insomnia.
Since 2009 Jen has also been heavily involved in the development and teaching of post-graduate courses in sleep science and dental sleep medicine.
