Biography
Dr. Vargas' research seeks to understand the biopsychosocial factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of both depression and insomnia, with the end goal of identifying clinically useful markers that may inform treatment and prevention efforts. His research broadly investigates the neurobiology of depression and insomnia and, in particular, aims to evaluate the role of the HPA-axis. He also conducts work on the effectiveness of CBT-I and the mechanisms whereby CBT-I exerts change on insomnia and depression.
