Event Title
Investigating Chronobiology, Alcohol Consumption, and Type-2 Diabetes Using Mouse Models

Description
Alterations to the biological clock are known to adversely affect many physiological and health characteristics. Individuals who experience jet-lag or shift-work are more likely to develop sleeping problems, obesity and type-2 diabetes, as well as develop addiction to drugs such as alcohol. In vivo studies using mice are extremely useful to determine how these diseases and conditions affect behavior and system wide physiology. This session will present the past and current research developments of the Bridgewater State Research Animal Lab, as well as discuss future plans.
