Welcome to the Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology (SRN) Assembly

If sleep is your field, this is your professional home.

Whether you're a clinician, researcher, educator, respiratory therapist, nurse, behavioral health specialist, or anyone working to advance sleep health, the SRN Assembly is your space within the American Thoracic Society (ATS). We are a global community committed to improving care, advancing science, and fostering meaningful connections across the sleep field.

SRN members represent the full spectrum of sleep professionals—clinicians, scientists, educators, program directors, trainees, and allied health leaders. Together, we shape the future of the field by bringing cutting-edge science to the ATS International Conference and offering year-round programming that informs, connects, and inspires.

What We Offer

  • Active Committees (Early Career, Planning, Program, Executive, Nominating, Website, and others) that drive our strategy and programming
  • Mentoring & Apprenticeship Programs connecting early-career members with experienced leaders
  • Journal Club Webinars and Podcasts featuring new research and emerging trends
  • Scientific and Clinical Programming at the ATS International Conference—poster sessions, workshops, and expert panels

What We're Exploring Next

We are actively considering several new ways to engage our members, including:

  • Virtual forums for informal connection and idea exchange
  • A membership needs assessment to better understand your priorities
  • Virtual townhalls to foster dialogue and transparency
  • More regular communication from the Executive Committee

If you're new to SRN—welcome. We invite you to explore what we offer, connect with colleagues, and get involved. As Chair of SRN, I encourage you to reach out directly with questions, ideas, or if you're looking to find your place in this dynamic and growing community.

This is a space where ideas grow, networks expand, and voices are heard. We look forward to working with you to shape the future of sleep and respiratory neurobiology.
