Circadian Biology of Aging Unit

Victoria Acosta-Rodriguez, Ph.D., Chief

The CBAU will investigate how circadian clocks age and contribute to the onset of chronic diseases. Circadian clocks control 24h rhythms in physiology, energy cycles, immune function, and longevity-related pathways. Dysregulation in these endogenous time-keeping mechanisms, due to aging or lifestyle, is detrimental to health and lifespan.
