Performance Around The Clock

We continue our series from the Society for Research on Biology Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  In episode 25 of the Performance Around The Clock podcast, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Phyllis Zee, one of the world’s experts on sleep.  Dr. Zee is a Director of the Center of Circadian and Sleep Medicine at Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.  She is also the Chief of Sleep Medicine in the Department of Neurology and Benjamin and Virginia T. Boshes Professor of Neurology.  In this episode, she talks about sleep disorders, using melanopsin as a chronobiotic, the interesting connection between melatonin and glucose metabolism and the establishment of circadian health clinics. Thanks for listening.  Guest: Dr. Phyllis Zee Director, Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University Chief of Sleep Medicine in the Department of Neurology Benjamin and Virginia T.

Welcome to episode 24 of the Performance Around The Clock podcast.  We resume our series from the Society for Research on Biology Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Annie Curtis, a professor at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), who studies the intersection between circadian rhythms and the immune system.  We talk about how the timing of infection affects the immune response and the implications for vaccinations.  In addition, we hear about the intriguing role of mitochondria in this immune response. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the Performance Around the Clock podcast. In episode 23, we are joined by Dr. Emily Manoogian, one of the foremost experts on Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), to discuss her latest research on TRE in adults with metabolic syndrome. We will explore how to implement TRE and its various benefits. Dr. Manoogian will also share insights on using the myCircadianClock app in her clinical trials to track TRE and other circadian metrics. For more information, you can visit the myCircadianClock website at www.mycircadianclock.org. If you are interested in participating in a Type 2 Diabetes and TRE study, please get in touch with Dr. Manoogian at [email protected]. Her latest study was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine: (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39348690/). Thank you for tuning in.

Episode 22 of the Performance Around the Clock podcast is another episode from the 2024 Society for Research on Biology Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  We are honored to host this week’s guest, Dr. Charlotte Förster, who epitomizes perseverance in her long scientific career studying circadian rhythms  We’ll talk about her work to understand  the circadian clock at the molecular and neuronal level, how the clock synchronizes with the day/night cycles and how the clock controls behavior.  You’ll also hear about her fascinating research on the synchronization of menstrual cycles with lunar cycles and its implications.  Dr. Förster is a professor in Neurobiology and Genetics at the University of Würzburg.  Thank you for listening.
