Organizers: Erik Herzog, Paul Taghert, and Dmitri Nusinow

The Clocks & Sleep Club became the Hope Center Clocks & Sleep Club to expand participation and promote ongoing research on the role of sleep and circadian rhythms in neurodegenerative disease.

For Fall 2024, the group will have intermittent meetings. Scroll down for scheduled events.
