Chronobiology deals with oscillatory phenomena in living organisms and their adaptation to geophysical cycles. It is a rapidly expanding branch that touches almost every discipline and deeply influences allied areas.
Chronobiological studies include, but are not limited to comparative anatomy, development, physiology, medicine, genetics, molecular biology, behaviour, ecology and evolution. The Department of Science and Technology has been organizing the SERC School in Chronobiology for the past nine years.
The current 10th School is second of the series III of this activity, named as SERC School in Chronobiology III: Clocks, Rhythms and Behaviour. The aim of the School is to have the experts in the field, drawn from some of the finest laboratories, interact with our students and teach principles and recent developments in Biological Rhythms.
