Field: Circadian Clocks and Photoperiodic Time Measurment Research Interest:
Many human pathologies, such as sleep disorders, are likely to have
a circadian defect and increasing our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms
involved in circadian clock regulation could help us design novel
treatments for those diseases. Light is a major environmental input
to the clock and the aim of my research is to understand how light
controls the circadian oscillator. Given that a great deal is known
about phototransduction in plants, I will use Arabidopsis thaliana
as the model system The homology recently found between clock photoreceptors
in plants and animals suggests that elucidation of the phototransduction
pathway in Arabidopsis will have a broad impact for studies in animal
systems. |
