"Genetics and Biology of Human Circadian Regulation"

Dr. Louis Ptáček has used the tools of human genetics in the study of patients with an impressive range of human phenotypes. He pioneered the field of “Channelopathies” and human circadian/sleep genetics. For many of the genes/mutations they identify, they go on to deep mechanistic work using in vitro and in vivo experiments focused on regions harboring the human mutations.
