Physiology of circadian rhythms

Our Approach

We use human and animal studies and Omics technologies to describe the impact of environmental factors or genetic disruption of the circadian clock on normal physiology and pathology, as well as the involved molecular mechanisms.

Research Areas

Our research aims at characterizing how chronodisruption leads to pathologies, in particular for:

Ageing

  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease

Common disease

  • Liver pathologies, including Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease
  • Metabolic diseases, obesity and diabetes

Into the future

  • Children development and growth
