Great news from the lab - we’ve been awarded a MIRA (R35)!
This grant provides 5-year support for our research program. We are very grateful to NIGMS/ #NIH for supporting our research. We will be hiring a research technician and a postdoc.

my former boss (and amazing mentor) Carl Johnson just released a series of lectures on the fundamental properties of #circadian clocks, which you should definitely check out if you're interested in chronobiology!

@drummonk.bsky.social and I wrote a @plosbiology.org Primer to highlight a fantastic study by Aalim Weljie’s and Amita Sehgal’s groups that reveals time-of-day dependent activities of glucose metabolic pathways.

Together with Daniel Münch @dahaniel.muench.bio, we contributed a review about complex neural processing across phyla - and how this allows adaptions to a dynamic environment. Enjoy reading!
We’re recruiting!
Exciting opportunities in our lab supported by a
@wellcometrust.bsky.social Discovery Award.

Ever wonder if a baby knows what time it is? This work by @circatwenty4.bsky.social and collaborators says that the fetus synchronizes its daily rhythms to mom before birth. tinyurl.com/yk3m8fx3 #SRBRa #circadian #chronomedicine
Beyond delighted to share our amazing collaboration with Thierry Alquier's lab @alquierthierry.bsky.social on a conserved role for neuronal lipid droplets in regulating energy homeostasis in vivo led by Celena Cherian, Romane Manceau, Danie Majeur, and Colin Miller www.nature.com/articles/s42... /1
The circadian clock and cellular metabolism are tightly coupled. This primer discusses a recent PLOS study that elucidates how glucose metabolism changes over the course of the day in Drosophila and h...
Circadian rhythms in gene expression and hormones are ubiquitous across species and differentiated cell types, yet their developmental origins remain poorly und...

In vivo regulation of neuronal lipid droplet formation mediates whole-body energy homeostasis in a sex-specific manner in Drosophila and mice.
How do #circadian clocks regulate glucose processing? By integrating human metabolite profiling with isotope-tracing in #Drosophila, this study defines daily rhythms in #glucose utilization that are influenced by circadian timing @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3Olm1M1

Deeply honoured to have been awarded a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award to study how competition is encoded in the brain.
This builds on the discoveries of outstanding past/present lab members.
Grateful to mentors/collaborators/colleagues for their support.
We are recruiting postdocs/PhD students.
