<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Abstract: </span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The circadian clock is a crucial mechanism evolved by most living creatures to synchronize behavior and physiology to the correct
time of the day. Disruption of the circadian homeostasis exacerbates the development of clinically relevant disorders including sleep disorders, obesity, diabetes, and cancers. Our research has been dedicated</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">
<span style="color:black">to understanding how circadian physiology controls metabolic homeostasis and contributes to cancer development. Our integrated use of genetics, biochemistry, genomics, and state-of-the-art chemical compounds demonstrated the fundamental
roles of the circadian clock in health and disease and legitimized it as a highly potential target for the development of novel therapeutics.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
