About BioClock
Our biological clock is disrupted by the 24-hour society in which we now live. Within the BioClock consortium, researchers and societal partners from across the Netherlands will join forces to restore and preserve the health of the biological clock. The plans cover the whole of society: from human health and disease to the natural environment and the protection of biodiversity.
Topics such as shift work, optimal times for cancer immunotherapy and flu vaccinations, chronotherapy for depression, and the effects of light pollution on insects and other light-sensitive animals are all covered in our six-year research program.
On the news page of our website you will find updates on our projects and news articles about exciting findings and events within our projects.
The BioClock consortium is an interdisciplinary network of universities, societal partners, local governments, and other parties that all share a common goal: we want to investigate how to keep the biological clock healthy in our 24/7 society. Funded by NWO, 25 PhD students and postdocs will work on this project in the coming years, supervised by researchers from academic institutes across the Netherlands and in collaboration with the many co-financing and cooperation partners.
Heel goed! Stadsverlichting uit bespaart energie, maar zorgt ook voor minder verstoring van de natuur!! Welke stads in NL volgt?? Kijken: Berlijnse monumenten in het donker om energie te besparen Het gaat om zo'n tweehonderd bouwwerken, waaronder de Dom, Slot Charlottenburg, de Gedächtniskirche aan de Kurfürstendamm en het stadhuis. nos.nl Marcel Visser on Light at Night (LAN) and avian clocks! Now @LauraKervezee from @LUMC_Leiden at #EBRS2022 on night shifts and the effect on the transcriptome and metabolome We also heard from Andries Kalsbeek about how excercise can help synchronise metabolic rhythms. New vacancy: @NWA_BioClock is looking for a postdoc researcher for the pharmacological targeting of the circadian clock. Interested? @SRBR_Outreach @EbrsOfficial @CCB_UCSD PostDoc vacancy available involving HTS assay development to find novel clock modulators. @NWA_BioClock Postdoc Cell Biology LUMC Leiden | LUMC Postdoc Cel Biologie LUMC Leiden www.lumc.nl Clock at school? A great way to educate many students about #chronobiology. On how to do this best, PhD candidate Nihal Fawzi will investigate this in her project: https://bioclockconsortium.org/en/news/nihal-studies-how-we-can-integrate-chronobiology-in-secondary-school-education/ #education
