Dr. Karyn Esser is a pioneering researcher in the field of circadian biology and its impact on skeletal muscle health, aging, and systemic metabolism. As a leading expert in the role of circadian rhythms in muscle function, her work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how the muscle clock regulates glucose metabolism, muscle strength, and metabolic flexibility. Her lab has demonstrated that the muscle clock is essential for maintaining muscle health, it's function changes with age and exercise works with the clock mechanism to support muscle health. These findings have opened new avenues for chronotherapeutic approaches to improve muscle and systemic health, particularly in aging and chronic disease.
