Hood Fellows public lecture: Tales from the neurology clinic: Doc, I have an upside-down circadian clock Event as iCalendar
18 October 2012
5:30 - 7pm
Venue: Lecture Theatre 039, Room 105S-039, Clocktower South Wing, City Campus.
“I saw a patient in the clinic who said he found me on the internet. He was suffering from a debilitating sleep disorder and wanted to know if it was a problem with his ‘circadian clock.’ Today I will show how a diagnosis can be made and a rational treatment plan designed, all based on translating our knowledge of basic circadian biology to the bedside. The eventual outcome of this case should be of interest to all clinicians who care for patients.”
Professor William Schwartz
is an eminent neurologist and a chronobiologist who heads a research group at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the United States.
Professor Schwartz’s inspiring work has advanced the field of chronobiology, particularly with respect to our understanding of how the brain generates circadian rhythms and how these rhythms are transmitted throughout the body.
