Circadian clocks control various behavioral and physiology in most living organisms, including the sleep-wake cycle. The molecular study of circadian rhythms in Drosophila has discovered principles of circadian clocks that are conserved in humans. In this TP, we will perform behavioral assays in flies and humans to analyze various parameters of circadian rhythms and sleep. In parallel, molecular analysis of circadian clock will be performed, in order to understand genetic mechanisms that determine circadian and sleep phenotypes.
