General Information |
Biological Clock (circadian clock) regulates physiological events (such as body temperature cycles, hormone release, and sleep-wake durations etc) in synchrony with the solar clock. This regulation is achieved through regulation of 10% of transcription by circadian clock at molecular level at any given time point. Therefore, the abnormalities of the biological clock are observed either as a cause or a result in diseases. Our laboratory focuses on the effect of biological clock on cancer, aging and aging-dependent metabolic alterations. Additionally, the biochemistry of the biological clock resetting by light is another subject of our laboratory. |
