Center for Biological Timing |
|
Work being done today at the Center for Biological Timing has fundamental implications for almost every branch of biology. All organisms contain biological oscillators which govern a myriad of life processes including metabolic, cellular and reproductive activities. Some of these oscillations remain constant in frequency thus serving as "biological clocks," while others use changes in frequency to achieve selective control over downstream processes. The Center for Biological Timing provides the oppurtunity to focus the talents and insights of outstanding researchers from around the country on significant scientific problems. The Center has brought together geneticists, molecular biologists, endocrinologists and statisticians from Brandeis University, Rockefeller University, Northwestern University and the University of Virginia.
