Basics in Biological Rhythm Research

This part addresses fundamentals in circadian rhythm research: Entrainment, Phase-shift, Phase-response Curve, Aschoff's Rules, Masking Effects. The Cellular Basis of Circadian Clocks, Genetic Basis of the Circadian Clock as well as Data Analysis Techniques Lectures by: Prof. L.Edmunds (SUNY New York), Dr. S.Gorbey (Uni Heidelberg), Prof. B.Lemmer (Uni Heidelberg), Prof. S.Michel (Uni Leiden), Prof. J.Waterhouse (Uni Liverpool)

Biological Rhythms in Different Species

The second introduction part is about: Morphology and Histology of Biological Clocks. Rhythms in Arthropodes and Plants. Circadian Oscillators and the Cell Cycle. Rhythms in Signaltransduction and talks abo ut

Shift-work and Jet-Lag. Lectures by: Prof. G.Atkinson (Uni Liverpool), Prof. L.Edmunds (SUNY New York), Prof. G.Fleissner (Uni Frankfurt), Dr. G.Fleissner (Uni Frankfurt), Prof. B.Lemmer (Uni Heidelberg), Prof. A.Reinberg (CNRS, Paris), Prof. E.Wagner (Uni Freiburg).

Chronomedicine and Chronopharmacology Chronopharmacology

The main part of the lectures are related to the growing field of circadian rhythms in diseases and Chronopharmacology: Chronobiology and Chronopharmacology of the Endocrine and Cardiovascular System. Rhythms in Secretion and Motility of the GI-Tract, Pancreas and Gall Bladder. Sleep

Apnea. Pain. Chronoepidemiology, Chronopharmacokinetics and Drug Delivery. Treatment of Hypertension, angina pectoris and Asthma. Chronopharmacology and Chronotoxicology of Anticancer Drugs, as well as Rhythms in Psychiatric Diseases and Light Therapy. Lectures by: Prof. I.Ashkenazi (Uni Tel Aviv), Prof. B.Lemmer (Uni Heidelberg), Prof. F.Levi (INSERM, Villejuif); Prof. M.Middeke (Uni Muenchen), Dr. F.McInnes (Uni Strathclyde, Glasgow), Prof. R.Manfredini (Uni Ferrara), Prof. M.von der Ohe (Uni Heidelberg), Prof. A.Reinberg (CNRS, Paris), Prof. Y.Touitou (Uni Paris VI), J.Schmitt (Theresienkrankenhaus Mannheim), Prof. M.H.Smolensky (Uni Houston, Texas), Prof. A.Wirz-Justice (Uni Basel).

Practical Approaches

There will be also a part of o f "real live experiments": Self-assessment of 24-hr heart rate and an d blood pressure rhythms (ABPM). Self-assessment of 24-hr activity, temperature, peak flow or g rip strength, as well as a demonstration of  our telemetric facility for rat and mice and a visit of a Sleep Lab. Demonstrations by: Dr. S.Gorbey (Uni Heidelberg), Dr. C.Grundt (Uni Heidelberg), J.Schmitt (Theresienkrankenhaus Mannheim), Dr. J.Scholtze (Theresienkrankenhaus Mannheim).
