  Subject Areas on Research

  • Beyond intuitive modeling: combining biophysical models with innovative experiments to move the circadian clock field forward. 
  • Circadian rhythms of activity and drinking in mice lacking angiotensin II 1A receptors. 
  • Human casein kinase Idelta phosphorylation of human circadian clock proteins period 1 and 2. 
  • Recognition and assessment of shift work disorder. 
  • Role of mouse cryptochrome blue-light photoreceptor in circadian photoresponses. 
  • Setting clock speed in mammals: the CK1 epsilon tau mutation in mice accelerates circadian pacemakers by selectively destabilizing PERIOD proteins. 
  • Understanding the sleep-wake cycle: sleep, insomnia, and the orexin system.
