Biological Clocks

Professor: Erik Herzog

Biological clocks are the endogenous oscillators that coordinate physiological and behavioral rhythms in nearly all organisms. This course examines how these rhythms are generated and regulated. The material will include molecular, cellular and systems physiology and the relevance of biological timing to ecology and health in everything from protozoans to plants to people. Prerequisites: Bio 3050. Medium-size class. Credit 3 units
