Professor of Circadian Neuroscience University of Oxford
About this event
- Date and time Tue 15 Jun 2021 from 8:00am to 5:00pm
- Location Royal Society of Medicine
- Organised by Respiratory Medicine
The Respiratory Medicine section is hosting an exciting event which will explore circadian biology and how it impacts on the care of respiratory patients. There will be a keynote speech given by Professor Russell Foster of Oxford University, a British professor of circadian neuroscience. There will be number of other prominent speakers, including Professor David Ray from the University of Oxford; who will present on the circadian regulation of lung inflammation.
This is a full-day event aimed at Students, Trainees, Respiratory Registrars, ITU Registrars, Neurology Registrars, Consultants, Scientists and those specialising in Sleep Medicine. This awareness-raising event will be hugely informative with ample opportunities for audience participation and discussion.
The key topics covered will be as follows:
- Understand the mechanisms behind the cellular clock
- Be able to describe how circadian biology affects pulmonary inflammation
- Explain how the circadian clock impacts the diagnosis and treatment of asthma and pulmonary fibrosis
- Grasp how circadian biology impacts the health of doctors
- Recognise emerging treatments to treat circadian rhythm disturbances
