Professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Disease Martin Young, D.Phil., specializes in chronobiology and cardiac metabolism. In this video spotlight, Young discusses his journey into research and the importance of circadian rhythms, often described as our bodies’ internal clocks. His work highlights the role of circadian clocks in maintaining heart health and how disruptions can contribute to disease states. Specifically, Young’s research aims to understand the mechanisms behind the heart’s tolerance to heart attacks at different times of the day, with the ultimate goal of developing strategies to protect the heart during vulnerable periods.
