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.

강의 계획표 - 이 강좌에서 배울 내용
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 LIFE의 최상위 리뷰
It was an amazing experience learning through this course, it enables flexible timings and hence is more comfortable for any student.
What an incite into this world of light and dark! Great derailed course that leads to better understanding of chronology and the clocks inside.
I truly enjoyed the lecture throughout the course. I would like to have more of this course. And the instructors are amazing.
This course gives a good introduction into the field of circadian biology!
