Personal information:

Name:  Matt Thimgan

Hometown:  Yorba Linda, CA 
 

Education:

College & degree

B.S. - UCLA, Microbiology and molecular genetics

Ph. D. - UNC-Chapel Hill, Physiology 
 

Research goals:

I am interested in how genes traditionally involved in metabolism influence sleep and circadian behavior.  Understanding these interactions may provide novel insights into physiological process the organism undertakes during sleep and how these processes are carried out.
