In a new study, Virginia Tech scientists have identified a novel gene, Per2AS, that controls the natural sleep/wake cycle, or circadian rhythm, in mice.
Michael Young, the Richard and Jeanne Fisher Professor at The Rockefeller University, will discuss his groundbreaking research in a talk titled “Genes Regulating Sleep and Circadian Rhythms,” part of the Maury Strauss Distinguished Public Lecture Series hosted by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC.
