  E31 - Timing medicines & lighting the future with Satchin Panda (EBRS 2025 Spotlight 4)

  Aug 17, 202546 minS2025

  <p>In the second part with Prof. Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda (Regulatory Biology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California), we continue talking about breakthrough discoveries from past years of him and other chronobiologists. First, we discuss how the timing of medication intake could help in optimizing its effects. Then, Satchin shares his perspective on ongoing developments in the lighting industry since the discovery of the blue-light sensitive melanopsin. In both contexts, we also discuss self-limiting features of chronobiology and circadian rhythms research that may stand in the way of using chronobiological principles to achieve policy...

  E30 - The rise of time-restricted eating with Satchin Panda (EBRS 2025 Spotlight 3)

  Jul 16, 20251h 7mS2025

  <p>As the third spotlight for the European Biological Rhythms Society (EBRS) congress, taking place in Luebeck in Northern Germany from the 24th to 28th of August 2025, Prof. Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda (Regulatory Biology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California) talks about several breakthrough discoveries from past years of him and other chronobiologists. In this first part, Satchin explains the relevance of time-restricted eating (TRE) with people nowadays eating around the clock and how he faced a lot of pushback from the nutrition field after his initial discovery of TRE's health benefits in mice. We...

  E29 - Glucocorticoids with Henriette Uhlenhaut (EBRS 2025 Spotlight 2)

  May 21, 20251h 8mS2025

  <p>As the second spotlight for the European Biological Rhythms Society - EBRS - congress, taking place in Luebeck in Northern Germany from the 24th to 28th of August 2025, Prof. Henriette Uhlenhaut (Professor of Metabolic Programming at the Technical University of Munich, TUM, and Director of the Institute for Diabetes and Endocrinology at the Helmholtz Center in Munich) talks about glucocorticoids (such as cortisol), commonly known as the "stress hormones". We discuss how glucocorticoids regulate gene expression at many different sites within our body and how they play different roles in metabolism, immune responses and inflammation. We highlight that glucocorticoids...

  E28 - The Central Clock & Melatonin with Michael Hastings (EBRS 2025 Spotlight 1)

  Mar 25, 20251h 15mS2025

  <p>In collaboration with the organizers of the 18th Congress of the European Biological Rhythms Society - EBRS - taking place in Luebeck in Northern Germany from the 24th to 28th of August 2025, three congress speakers are interviewed to talk about their research. As the first spotlight, Prof. Michael Hastings (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge) talks about his research journey from circatidal rhythms in marine organisms to circadian and circaannual rhythms in mammals. Our main focus is on the neurochemistry within the central clock of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) enabling it to tell time. We discuss the most relevant...

  E27 - Part 2: A good night's sleep with Christian Benedict

  Mar 16, 202556 minS2025

  <p>In this second part, Dr. Christian Benedict (Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, Research and Pharmacology at Uppsala University, Sweden) explains how our sleep changes with aging and upon different challenges of adult life. We discuss the so-called gold-standard method for measuring sleep (Polysomnography, PSG) and how modern wearable technologies perform compared to PSG. In this context, Christian evaluates the potential value of measuring heart rate variability (HRV) to assess sleep quality. He also emphasizes the health threat through obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and how to use simple self-monitoring technologies to determine if you may be affected by OSA yourself. Lastly...
