Tager Lecture: Prof. Charna Dibner

After the masterclass, a Tager Lecture will be delivered by Prof. Charna Dibner about the critical role of the circadian clock in regulating metabolism. She will discuss how modern lifestyle factors—such as nighttime light exposure, late meals, and reduced sleep—disrupt intrinsic biological rhythms, contributing to metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes.
