Postdoctoral Fellow, Human Sleep Research Program
Marie Gombert joined SRI in 2022 as a postdoctoral researcher. She works on several NIH-funded projects to better understand the importance of biological rhythms and sleep in human health. Her interests are particularly the menstrual variations in woman’s physiology, and also in how the socioeconomic context of individuals shape their life habits and health.
Gombert has a background in Biochemistry, a MSc in Digestive Health and Nutrition, and a PhD from the Univeritat de Valencia (Spain), on “Life habits, circadian rhythms and metabolic health in the context of childhood obesity”, was obtained with international mention thanks to collaborations with both La Rochelle Université (France), and University of Colorado Boulder (USA).

Resting-state fMRI activation is associated with phenotypic features of autism in early adolescence
In this study, we aimed to explore if activation in brain regions of the default mode network (DMN), specifically the medial prefrontal cortex (MPC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), superior temporal…

Menstrual Cycle Variations in Wearable-Detected Finger Temperature and Heart Rate, But Not in Sleep Metrics, in Young and Midlife Individuals
We use wearable and diary-based data to investigate menstrual phase and age effects on finger temperature, sleep, heart rate (HR), physical activity, physical symptoms, and mood.

Using Wearable Skin Temperature Data to Advance Tracking and Characterization of the Menstrual Cycle in a Real-World Setting
Here, we show that the menstrual skin temperature variation is better represented by a model of oscillation, the cosinor, than by a biphasic square wave model.
