The Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology welcomes Dr. Zheng ‘Jake’ Chen, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston to WSU Spokane on Tuesday, April 9. He will be providing his seminar at noon, “Targeting the circadian clock against disease and aging,” in SCCRS 250 and via Zoom.
Biological timing in cells is crucial for physiological health and healthspan. Conversely, circadian dysregulation is a hallmark of many chronic diseases and age-related decline. Our research aims to investigate the function and mechanism of circadian intervention in disease and aging settings, which may lead to innovative chronotherapeutic strategies with broad translational impact.
Dr. Chen is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the McGovern Medical School at UT Health Science Center at Houston. Dr. Chen earned his PhD degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Columbia University.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SCRS 250) or through Zoom!
