Chronobiology School 2022 Faculty

Faculty

  • Urs Albrecht

    Department of Biology, University of Freiburg

    The Albrecht lab investigates circadian clocks in mammals. Circadian clocks organize an organism's daily behavior and physiology on a 24-hour time scale.

    More Information

  • Bharath Ananthasubramaniam

    Humboldt Universität zu Berlin

    Bringing a theoretical biologist’s perspective to the study of rhythms in biological systems. Rhythmic phenomena in biology occur over time scales of ms to hours to months. I focus mainly on the circadian clock that produces near 24-hour rhythms in most organisms to cope with the day-night cycle on earth.

    More Information

  • Prof. Dr. Steven Brown

    University of Zurich

    We study the molecular mechanisms of mammalian biological clocks and the ways in which they control behavior and physiology. Our lab and one other group (Prof. Dr. HansPeter Landolt) form a core expertise in Chronobiolgy and Sleep Research at the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology.

    More Information

  • Prof. Antony Dodd

    John Innes Centre

    The Dodd lab investigates the adaptation of plants to fluctuating environments, focusing on circadian regulation and signal transduction.

  • Vanessa Granja Burbano

    LMU Munich

    Influence of the circadian rhythm on infarct volume and immune response after experimental stroke.

    More Information

  • Russell Foster, BSc PhD FRS

  • Sato Honma

    Hokkaido University

    Sato Honma is a Japanese chronobiologist who researches the biological mechanisms of circadian rhythms. She mainly collaborates with Ken-Ichi Honma on publications, and both of their primary research focuses are the human circadian clock under temporal isolation and the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), its components, and associates.

    More Information

  • Aarti Jagannath, DPhil

    University of Oxford

    Aarti Jagannath is a BBSRC David Phillips Fellow at the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience. My group researches the molecular mechanisms that regulate circadian clock entrainment.

    More Information

  • Prof. Martha Merrow, PhD

    LMU Munich

    Martha Merrow has been teaching at Chronobiology schools almost every year since 1996. Her research focuses on chronobiology principles, especially through entrainment. She is interested in describing clocks in new model systems, showing the pervasive nature of daily temporal structures in biology. Martha is currently the president of the European Biological Rhythms Society, the chair of the Education Committee for the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms and the Chair of the Department of Medical Psychology at the LMU Munich.

    More Information

  • Prof. Sarah Reece

    The University of Edinburgh

    Parasites live in inside the bodies of hosts and vectors, with whom they are engaged in a life-and-death struggle. My group uncovers the strategies parasites have evolved to cope with the challenges and exploit opportunities of their lifestyle by asking “what makes parasites so successful” and “what limits their success”.

    More Information

  • Prof. Maria Robles, PhD

    LMU Munich

    The circadian clock is an endogenous timing system that regulates in a daily manner physiological functions and behavior by modulating gene expression and protein function.

    More Information

  • Valerie Simonneaux

    University of Strasbourg

    Valerie Simonneaux is a CNRS director of research (DR1 CNRS since 2012), head of the team “Neuroendocrine rhythms in reproduction” at the Institute of Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences in Strasbourg, France. Valerie has a broad background in the neuroendocrinology of biological rhythms. Her current focus is on the circadian and seasonal control of reproduction.

  • Eva Schernhammer, MD, DrPH, MPH, MSc

    University of Vienna

    Eva Schernhammer is an alumna of the Medical University of Vienna (MD 1992), who conducted several years of clinical work at the SMZ-Süd (formerly Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hospital) in Vienna, with a focus on oncology, before she became full-time faculty at Harvard Medical School/HSPH in 2003.

    More Information

  • Prof. Dr. Monika Stengl

    Universität Kassel

    More Information

  • Dr Tyler Stevenson

    University of Glasgow

    His research interests focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying the internal representation of time.

    More Information

  • Vladyslav Vyazovskiy PhD

    University of Oxford

    In the last decades a vast empirical and theoretical knowledge about sleep mechanisms has been accumulated. Surprisingly, the function of sleep still remains elusive. Moreover, in place of the long-standing question “why do we sleep?” now comes a more fundamental one: “what is sleep?”
