Directed by Nicolas Cermakian, PhD, the lab's researchers seek to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of circadian rhythms.  

The effect of light on circadian rhythms, sleep and fatigue

Nicolas Cermakian is studying the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms, especially in animal models.

Falling back, good for the brain? Douglas researchers look at time change.

Circadian Rhythms: what are they and how do they influence sleep and fatigue ?

Research projects of the Centre for study and treatment of circadian rythms.

Investigators at the Centre conduct multidisciplinary research on human circadian rhythms (daily rhythmic events) and sleep.  

Sleep disorders include fatigue created by night shifts, sleep-wake syndrome and jet lag

A new study sheds light on the mechanisms of internal clocks.

Clocks in the human brain > Twenty-four hour cycles, known as circadian rhythms, are important for normal brain function and mental health.
