Research
Dr. Videnovic's research is focused on clinical investigations in sleep and movement disorders. Specifically, his group has positioned sleep and circadian rhythms as novel therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative disorders. Another major research interest is REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, a parasomnia that represents a prodromal stage of synuclein-specific neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies. This line of research aims to detect biomarkers of neurodegeneration within the RBD phenotype that will inform planing of future disease modifying trials for these neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Videnovic is involved in wide range of clinical trials in movement disorders. His research has been supported by NIH/NINDS, Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, National Parkinson Foundation, American Brain Foundation and Parkinson's Disease Foundation.
