The BioClock Academy is an initiative of the BioClock Consortium; a Dutch national research project, funded by NWO. We study the biological clock in modern society, in humans and the environment. The BioClock Academy are free monthly online seminars in which basic concepts of circadian science are explained by researchers. Find out more and the schedule of upcoming seminars on www.bioclockconsortium.org/en/bioclock-academy
This session: Andrew Beale is a research scientist with a strong interest in understanding why circadian rhythms are a feature in nearly all organisms and how they impact our daily lives. Andrew serves as a Public Outreach Fellow at the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) and works as a Senior Investigator Scientist at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. His current work investigates the cellular mechanisms of circadian rhythms in both nucleate and anucleate cells, aiming to uncover a post-transcriptional clock mechanism that may be fundamental to all life on earth.
With his passion for circadian rhythms, cellular and molecular biology, and a touch of evolutionary biology, Andrew contributes valuable insights into the mechanisms of biological rhythms and their implications for health and well-being.
