Michael Smolensky is an American chronobiologist working in hypertension and pathophysiology.

Education and career

He earned his Ph.D at University of Illinois. ^[1]

He founded and for 10 years directed the Memorial-Hermann Center for Chronobiology and Chronotherapeutics (the first polyclinic to use biological rhythm to diagnose and cure disease). ^{[2] [3]}

He is the author or co-author of more than 300 academic articles; his highest cited paper is "Ethics and methods for biological rhythm research on animals and human beings". ^[4] at 739 times, according to Google Scholar. ^[5] He also co-authored (alongside Lynne Lamberg) the book The Body Clock Guide to Better Health which is held in 449 libraries. ^[6]

He recently was involved in works upon resilience and circadian reliability of fire departments with French firefighters. ^{[7] [8] [9]}
