Dr. Malow’s clinical, educational, and research programs focus on the impact of treating sleep disorders on neurological disease. Her own research has emphasized the interface of sleep and epilepsy, and more recently, sleep, autism, and related disorders of neurodevelopment. Through collaborations and mentorship, Dr. Malow is also involved in the study of sleep as relates to diabetes, pulmonary disease, and stroke, as well as aspects of sleep medicine related to genetics and circadian biology. In addition to conducting her own NIH and foundation-funded patient-oriented research, Dr. Malow has taken an active role in facilitating patient-oriented research through her involvement as Associate Director of the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center and Director of the Vanderbilt Sleep Center, as well as her participation on research committees of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).

Dr. Malow’s administrative achievements include establishing and directing (1) An expanding sleep disorders division; (2) A multidisciplinary sleep center accredited by the AASM, which includes neurology, pulmonary, and pediatric sleep clinics as well as a 10-bed hotel based laboratory; and (3) An ACGME-accredited fellowship program in sleep medicine.
