The Department of Translational Medicine & Physiology and the Sleep and Performance Research Center jointly welcomes Dr. Ruud Buijs, Professor of Neurobiology at Instituto de Investigacíones Biomedicas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico to WSU Spokane on Oct. 14. He will be providing his seminar at 12:10 p.m., “The Autonomous Biological Clock Needs Feedback of the Body to Set Our Biological Rhythms,” in SAC 347 and via Zoom.
Renowned for his work in internal medicine, endocrinology, and neuroscience, Dr. Buijs has significantly contributed to understanding circadian rhythms, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and vasopressin. His studies span diverse topics such as neuropeptides, the effects of light on circadian regulation, and the role of the hypothalamus in physiological processes.
Dr. Buijs has authored highly cited works, including research on circadian rhythms in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the impact of sleep duration on diabetes and hypertension risks. His interdisciplinary approach integrates endocrinology, neuroscience, and physiology, advancing knowledge on how biological rhythms influence health.
We look forward to you joining us in SAC 347 or thru Zoom!
