About Me
Dr. Kam is interested in understanding how sleep and one of the most common sleep disorders, sleep apnea, contribute to impairments in memory and increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease. In both animal models and humans, Dr. Kam is actively investigating computational methods to measure sleep as well as translational approaches to modulate sleep, a conserved behavior that itself plays a role in the development of neurodegeneration.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Kam has not yet completed reporting of industry relationships or has no industry relationships to report.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
