We will discuss circadian rhythms research, at the behavioral, tissue and molecular scales. Our main focus is the circadian regulation of gene expression and its impact in host physiology. We will also focus on malaria and sleeping sickness infections, understanding the clinical aspects, the immune response to parasites and the vector transmission.
