July : Chronobiology in the time of COVID-19

Under the vision and leadership of Prof. Martha Merrow who is a world leading chronobiologist at the LMU in Germany. Prof Merrow rightly believed that the chronobiology community had much to contribute in terms of the global effort in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and put together a pop-up online workshop of experts in diverse fields including

chronobiology of immunology and virology

critical care and the circadian clock

seasonality and epidemiology

Brain, Behavior and COVID-19

Key questions which were debated were

  • How does the clock regulate infection and the course of the disease?

  • Does time of day matter in critical care treatment?

  • What can we expect based on seasonal patterns of viral infections?
