Circadian Rhythms, Chemical Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
By using the resources of clock modifying compounds and genes in combination with state-of-the-art technologies at ITbM, the Kay-Hirota group aims to discover "transformative bio-molecules" that will revolutionize clock research and ultimately benefit human health.
A unique combination of molecular, genetic, genomic, biochemical, and chemical biology approaches will allow us to reveal key regulatory processes of the circadian clock and define molecular links between the clock and rhythmic regulation of physiology and behavior.
Proof-of-concept chemical probes will provide useful tools to control clock function in a conditional manner and also act as starting points for developing therapeutics for circadian clock-related disorders.
