Research ThemesInterestsMolecular, cellular and circuit-level components of the mammalian circadian system, specifically the contributions of different subpopulations of cells within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) to overall rhythmicity, such as rhythm generation, maintenance and response to light.  Immunohistochemistry of an SCN section showing VIP (red), the VIP receptor (green) and AVP (blue) three cell populations involved in mammalian circadian rhythmicity.
