Prof. Gad Asher heads a research group at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. The lab studies circadian biology and metabolism (e.g., exercise and hypoxia) by combining molecular, physiological, behavioral, and computational approaches. The overarching goal is to uncover molecular mechanism within the core clock circuitry in respect to cellular metabolism and identify metabolic cycles in mammals. Gad visits the Institute in November and will present a talk on “The cross talk between circadian clocks and oxygen biology”.
