Brandeis University announces the launch of four new academic schools
Brandeis University announced a bold academic realignment, establishing four new schools that integrate its graduate professional programs into its liberal arts curriculum.
Research at Brandeis
The two colleagues, who arrived at Brandeis in 1974, did their pioneering work during their time at the university. Focusing on the fruit fly, they discovered the molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythm, the inner biological clock that regulates almost all life on the planet. The findings may one day lead to treatments for mental illness, Alzheimer's, heart disease and diabetes, all of which have been linked to our circadian rhythms becoming out of sync.
