Join us for the 3rd Annual LEE Tuh-Fuh & Ruby LEE Wang Zu-Ming Endowed Lecture featuring Dr. Satchin Panda of the Salk Institute. In his talk, “Circadian Rhythms and Intermittent Fasting and Their Roles in Promoting Healthy Lifespan,” Dr. Panda will explore how aligning eating and activity patterns with our body’s internal clock can improve metabolic health and support healthy aging. Open to the public—registration required! "Circadian Rhythms and Intermittent Fasting and Their Roles in Promoting Healthy Lifespan" Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda, PhD is a Professor at the Salk Institute in California, where his research focuses on the circadian regulation of behavior, physiology, and metabolism in model organisms and in humans. Dr. Panda discovered a blue-light sensing cell type in the retina entrains our master circadian clock, affects mood, and regulates the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Recently, he discovered that maintaining a daily feeding-fasting cycle – popularly known as time-restricted feeding (TRF) – can prevent and reverse metabolic diseases. Based on a feasibility study in humans, his lab is currently carrying out a smartphone-based study to assess the extent of circadian disruption among adults. Dr. Panda has received the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research, Dana Foundation Award in Brain and Immune System Imaging, and was a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.
