We study the impact of circadian time on health and disease.
A current focus is the interactions between circadian rhythm disruption, vascular insufficiency, and pathology associated with Alzheimer’s Disease.
To better understand the health impact of circadian disruption on health, we are also researching the ability of peripheral organs, such as the liver, to maintain time and sync with the environment even when the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus is ablated.
