Led by Andrew C Liu · Physiology and Aging
What we study
The Liu Lab studies how mammalian circadian rhythms work at the molecular, cellular, and physiological levels. They use mice, cell cultures, and integrated approaches to explore clock mechanisms, gene functions, and interactions with metabolism and immunity.
