This course explores the topic of Circadian Rhythms, covering their past, present, and future implications. Students will learn about light entrainment, the molecular basis of circadian rhythms, genetics, feedback loops, and the relationship between circadian rhythms and physiology. The course delves into topics such as metabolism, diabetes, time-restricted feeding, sleep disorders, and sleep phase syndromes. The teaching method involves lectures and discussions led by the instructor. This course is intended for individuals interested in biology, physics, genetics, and the intersection of these fields.
