Performance Around The Clock

Welcome to the Performance Around the Clock podcast. In this episode, Dr. Satchin Panda welcomes one of his scientific heroes, Dr. Susan Golden. Dr. Golden is a pillar in the circadian and cyanobacteria science community and the former director for the Center for Circadian Biology at UC San Diego. She shares her journey from studying gene regulation in cyanobacteria to understanding the circadian clock through this unique organism. Learn how these ancient blue-green algae were instrumental in the oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere and how tools developed to study cyanobacteria led to groundbreaking discoveries. Beyond her research, Dr. Golden also made significant contributions to circadian rhythm education, teaching countless undergraduate students over the years.

Coming from the 2024 Gerontology Society of America (GSA) Annual Scientific Meeting in Seattle, we are excited to welcome Dr. Nathan LaBrasseur for the 31st episode of the Performance Around the Clock podcast. Dr. LaBrasseur is the director of the Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging at the Mayo Clinic and an expert on senescence and aging. He's an author of the book "Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging: An Easy and Comprehensive Guide to Keeping Your Body Young, Your Mind Sharp and Your Spirit Fulfilled" an updated guide on healthy aging. In this episode, learn about the latest in aging and senescence particularly therapeutics for senescent cells - senotherapeutics. Senotherapeutics can be broken down into senolytics which selectively kill senescent cells and senomorphics which suppress senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) to reduce the negative effects of senescence.

Episode 19 of the Performance Around the Clock podcast comes from the 2024 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We have the honor to talk with one of the pillars of the circadian field - Dr. Joseph Takahashi. Dr. Takahashi pioneered the use of forward genetics and positional cloning in mouse as a tool to discover genes that underlie neurobiology and behavior. His discovery of clock genes led to a description of a conserved circadian clock mechanism in animals. In this podcast, we hear about how his lab discovered and cloned the mouse circadianClock gene. In addition, we find out how circadian alignment of feeding, daily fasting and caloric restriction can combine to increase longevity.Dr. Takahashi has authored more than 300+ scientific publications and the recipient of many awards and distinctions including:The Honma Prize in Biological Rhythms ResearchNSF Presidential Young Investigator AwardSearle Scholars AwardBristol-Myers Squibb Unrestricted Grant in Neuroscience, and the C. U. Ariens Kappers Medal. W.
