 We combine single-cell imaging and biophysical modeling to study how the circadian rhythm changes over age in different tissues in young and old mice. To study how processes in the cell are orchestrated, and how that orchestration might change as an animal age, we combine microarrays with theoretical and bioinformatic methods such as pathway analysis and control analysis. We are committed to using, developing, and discovering theoretical models and frameworks of highest clarity and rigor, and to combine those with state-of-the-art experimental techniques in one of Europe's foremost circadian rhythms labs, in order to advance our knowledge of aging and circadian rhythms. We combine single-cell imaging and biophysical modeling to study how the circadian rhythm changes over age in different tissues in young and old mice.
