About the Project

Our objective is to discover whether circadian temperature compensation, the property of maintaining ~24 h period at different physiological temperatures, is a cell autonomous biochemical mechanism or an emerging property of the circadian neuronal network. We will use novel tools that we will generate to investigate which clock neurons are responsible for encoding temperature compensation, a cardinal property for any circadian clock.
