    Keynote Speakers

    XIV Latin American Symposium on Chronobiology 2017 - LASC 2017

    Joseph Takahashi

    HHMI Investigator, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA.

    Joseph Takahashi has worked extensively on circadian rhythms in birds and more recently in mammals. The long-term goals of the Takahashi laboratory are to understand the molecular and genetic basis of circadian rhythms in mammals and to utilize forward genetic approaches in the mouse as a tool for gene discovery for complex behavior. His research has focused in five areas:

     

    • Identification of circadian clock genes and assignment of their function in the molecular mechanism of the circadian pacemaker;
    • Analysis of central and peripheral circadian oscillators using real-time circadian reporters;
    • Single-cell analysis of circadian oscillations using bioluminescence imaging methods;
    • In vivo analysis of circadian clock components using tissue-specific and conditional expression of circadian genes in mice; and
    • Identification of genes defined by mutations isolated in the large-scale mutagenesis screens we have conducted on neural and behavioral phenotypes.
