Welcome to the Dierickx Lab for Circadian Regulation of Cardiometabolism
Circadian rhythms coordinate many different aspects of behavior and physiology (e.g., fasting/feeding cycles, body temperature and metabolism). The Dierickx lab is interested in the molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock driving rhythmic metabolic processes in the heart. We try to understand how deregulated clocks are leading to cardiovascular defects and are trying to target the circadian clock in order to treat and prevent heart diseases.

Timing is key!
Chronopharmakologie: Wann wirken Medikamente? Our lab, amongst others (Angela Relógio, Christoph Scheiermann, Thorsten Lehr, Karin A. Ziegler, Jörg Schelling, was featured in a new documentary on chronopharmacology by ARD1. This highlights the importance of taking time into account for the treatment of not only cardiovascular diseases, but many more pharmacological applications!
