Bristol Clock Club aims to improve our understanding of circadian rhythms and sleep across species (e.g.Drosophila, Zebrafish, mouse, human, etc) and levels (e.g. molecular, membrane, metabolic, behavioural rhythms, etc. and including computational models). We wish to provide mechanistic insight and improve monitoring, diagnosis andtreatment of circadian and sleep disorder during ageing, stress, disease, (social) jetlag, light pollution, etc. Together we wish to strengthen student teaching, early career researcher development and public engagement in circadian and sleep science activity. Finallywe will build a platform for optimal data analysis, standardisation and storage of circadian rhythm and sleep data.
