13th SERB SCHOOL IN CHRONOBIOLOGY
22 December 2014–4 January 2015

Chronobiology is an interdisciplinary field that deals with oscillatory phenomena in living organisms and their adaptation to geophysical cycles. Approaches in chronobiological studies encompass comparative anatomy, physiology, genetics, reproduction, ecology, evolution, molecular biology and ethology.

This year’s SERB School will be hosted at the Mangalore University’s Department of Biosciences. The school will provide insights into basic concepts underlying biological clocks. There will be lectures on concepts and applications in animals and humans and simple experiments with hands-on experience of chronobiological experiment design, data collection and analysis.
