Mismatching clocks: the effect of circadian misalignment on peripheral 24-h rhythms in humans
Leiden University Medical Center (Netherlands)
Abstract
Night shift work is associated with adverse health effects and leads to misalignment between timing cues from the environment and the endogenous circadian clock. In this presentation, I will discuss the effect of circadian misalignment induced by night shift work on peripheral 24-h rhythms on the transcriptome and metabolome in humans, presenting findings from both controlled laboratory studies and field studies. Furthermore, I will highlight the importance of taking into account interindividual differences in the response to circadian misalignment.
