About us
Warwick Medical School (WMS) and the Warwick Systems Biology Centre (WSB) created the Chronotherapy Laboratory in April 2014.
Led by Professor Francis Levi, chronotherapy is an area of study that looks at how to align medical treatment to our circadian rhythms.
Focusing on main causes of human mortality, including cancer, cardio-vascular, metabolic, inflammatory, infectious, neurodegenerative or psychiatric diseases, chronotherapy aims to improve treatment tolerability and efficacy.
Find out more about the science of chronotherapy by visiting the Chronotherapy and body clocks section.
How we're funded
Our research is funded by the MRC, Cancer Research UK, the EU (FP7). The Cancer Chronotherapy Team has been selected to become a European Associated Laboratory by INSERM, the National Institute for Health and Medical Research of France.
Our vision for the future
A systems approach to chronotherapy of chronic diseases will benefit from the experience gathered for cancer chronotherapy. We aim to establish a Multidisciplinary Systems Chronotherapy Centre, for coordinating and networking biological rhythms research at Warwick University, and in the Midlands.
We will further strive toward the development of a science-driven translational chronotherapy network throughout the UK and internationally. This will enable major biomedical progress to stem out of the integration of biological clocks knowledge into clinical medicine..
