Carleara Weiss on Sleep and the Brain 12/9/25
Growing up in a multigenerational household, Carleara Weiss was a caregiver from the start.

Now, as an assistant professor of nursing at UB and a nationally recognized sleep researcher, Weiss is advancing our understanding of how sleep affects the brain.
