Our research focuses on two main approaches:
- Using Period knockout mice to understand circadian timekeeping and photo/food entrainment
- Understanding the mechanisms that connect and disconnect the circadian rhythm and cell cycle
Research Interests
- Circadian physiology
- Feeding/light entrainment of the circadian system
- Real-time imaging in live tissues and cells
- Mouse models for human disorders relating to the circadian system
- Neural circuit control of feeding/locomotor activity rhythms
- Pacemaker coupling
