She co-directs the Center on Biological Rhythms and Sleep (COBRAS) and is a member of the Hope Center for Neurological Diseases at Washington University.[1][2] Clinically, she sees patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital for parasomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea.[3] Ju's team has made multiple significant contributions to the field of sleep medicine and neurology in unveiling the complex relationship between sleep, amyloid deposition and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, opening new possibilities for clinical treatment. As of April 2023, the most cited work from her lab is their 2017 paper in Brain: A Journal of Neurology that showed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-beta protein level increases due to slow-wave sleep disruption.[4]
