The Center for Excellence in Education and Illumina presents a look into how our personal rhythm, the circadian rhythm, is regulated. During this event we will hear from an expert studying the circadian rhythm and how dysregulation impacts human health. We will also learn cutting edge lab techniques used to study genomics and genomic regulation.

Speakers:
Michelle Gumz, Ph.D. is an associate professor of medicine at the University of Florida (UF) where she also serves as an associate director for the Center for Integrative Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease. She earned her PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from UF in 2004 and later joined the faculty after completing postdoctoral training in renal physiology. Dr. Gumz served four years as treasurer for the APS Renal Section and has been a member of the APS Women in Physiology and Science Policy committees. Dr. Gumz currently serves as an associate editor for the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology. Dr. Gumz and her laboratory study the role of the molecular circadian clock in the kidney and its contribution to blood pressure regulation and renal function.
Chris Hopkins, Ph.D. is a genomics scientist that has worked at several technology-based companies. His background is in molecular biology, assay development, genomics, microarrays, and DNA sequencing. He has held research, assay development, and commercial positions. Chris loves learning and talking about science and genomics.
