Dr. Esser Karyn is at the forefront of groundbreaking research on circadian rhythms and their impact on skeletal muscle homeostasis and overall health. Her lab has pioneered critical discoveries, demonstrating how the muscle clock plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle strength, metabolic flexibility, and glucose metabolism.

Through her work, Dr. Esser and her team have shown that the timing of muscle contractions and exercise can uniquely influence the muscle clock, offering exciting possibilities for exercise timing as a therapeutic strategy, particularly for chronic diseases.

In this episode, we’ll dive into some of Dr. Esser's current research on how the muscle clock adapts to aging and its contribution to age-associated changes in muscle strength and metabolism. We’ll also explore the collaborative efforts happening in both pre-clinical and clinical settings to better understand the role of circadian rhythms in human health.

Dr. Brager is a distinguished neurobiologist with a deep expertise in sleep and circadian rhythms.
