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. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-sleep-is-a-skill-podcast-1219741/episodes/254-ramona-von-leden-phd-neuroscientist-scientific-affairs-advisor-at-neuronic-bad-sleep-neuroscientist-explains-how-a-light-helmet-could-help/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-sleep-is-a-skill-podcast-1219741/254-ramona-von-leden-phd-neuroscientist-scientific-affairs-advisor-at-neuronic-bad-sleep-neuroscientist-explains-how-a-light-helmet-could-help.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
