The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast 254: Ramona von Leden, PhD, Neuroscientist & Scientific Affairs Advisor at Neuronic: Bad Sleep? Neuroscientist Explains How A Light Helmet Could Help
Ramona is a neuroscientist and scientific strategist with deep experience at the intersection of neuroscience, rehabilitation, and emerging health technologies. She earned her BS in Psychology from Brown University, her PhD in Neuroscience from the Uniformed Services University (where her research focused on the modulation of inflammation following Neurotrauma, including publications on the impact of photobiomodulation on microglial activation), and she completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Neurology Department at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School.
Ramona is the Senior Director of US Medical Affairs for Winback America, and serves as a Scientific Advisor for two start ups, Neuronic and the Brainnovation Network. She specializes in translating complex science into real-world clinical and commercial outcomes — from leading research and publication efforts to building clinician training programs. In these roles, she oversees clinical research, education, and regulatory positioning. At Neuronic specifically, she supports research efforts to demonstrate the efficacy of transcranial photobiomodulation on cognitive function and a variety of neurological conditions.
She is passionate about leveraging technology to help people achieve their highest quality of life and brings a practical, collaborative approach to connecting science, clinical practice, and business strategy.
