Comparative Chronomics

Welcome to the Chronomic Medicine group website. We discover how circadian clocks contribute to genetic disease by taking a comparative biology approach. Take a look at our current projects below, find out about chronomic medicine or look through our data downloads.

About

The Chronomic Medicine group is based in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Cambridge and collaborates with colleagues across multiple departments. Our goal is to investigate how chronobiology impacts human health and disease. We are especially interested in the usage of chronobiology in genomic medicine; for which…Continue reading “About”
