Potential Rotation Projects

Circadian clocks play an essential role in the temporal organization of animal physiology and behavior.  Proper synchronization of these clocks with the day/night cycle is essential for their function.  We combine the powerful genetics of Drosophila with molecular, cell culture and behavioral approaches to obtain a comprehensive view of the mechanisms regulating circadian rhythms and their synchronization. 

Rotation projects could for example focus on the mechanisms of signal transduction in the CRY light input pathway, on the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian temperature responses, or on characterizing the neural network controlling the synchronization of circadian behavior with light and temperature cycles.
