This course is geared towards starting undergraduate students. A solid background in biology will be helpful but not absolutely essential. The material will be of interest to those who are pursuing a career in any of the life sciences as well as anyone who has run up against their biological clock.

シラバス - 本コースの学習内容
WEEK 1
Introduction to 'chronobiology'. What sorts of rhythms are observed in nature? Most of the lecture will be spent on describing daily or circadian rhythms in organisms from bacteria to man.
WEEK 2
Circadian rhythms synchronise to the 24-hour environment. Organisms use specialised photoreceptors to do this and they display characteristic properties in this process. We experience this active synchronisation process for example when we suffer from jet lag!
WEEK 3
We will discuss the elaborate molecular mechanisms that allow circadian clocks to produce their daily rhythms and to synchronise them to its environment. We will compare these mechanisms in a wide range of organisms.
WEEK 4
Circadian clocks serve to orchestrate physiology and metabolism in a coordinated way over the course of the day. Therefore, practically all processes in an organism are regulated outputs of the clock. We'll discuss examples of these processes and ideas about how this circadian regulation works.

CIRCADIAN CLOCKS: HOW RHYTHMS STRUCTURE LIFE からの人気レビュー
I found week 3 tough going and almost gave up. I'm really glad that I didn't.
Very useful information about circadian clocks and how human's sleep habit affects human life as a whole. Professors are very kind and compelling.
Material was interesting and instructors presentations were well done.
I truly enjoyed the lecture throughout the course. I would like to have more of this course. And the instructors are amazing.
