Episode 19 of the Performance Around the Clock podcast comes from the 2024 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We have the honor to talk with one of the pillars of the circadian field - Dr. Joseph Takahashi. Dr. Takahashi pioneered the use of forward genetics and positional cloning in mouse as a tool to discover genes that underlie neurobiology and behavior. His discovery of clock genes led to a description of a conserved circadian clock mechanism in animals. In this podcast, we hear about how his lab discovered and cloned the mouse circadian Clock gene. In addition, we find out how circadian alignment of feeding, daily fasting and caloric restriction can combine to increase longevity.
Dr. Takahashi has authored more than 300+ scientific publications and the recipient of many awards and distinctions including:
The Honma Prize in Biological Rhythms Research
NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award
Searle Scholars Award
Bristol-Myers Squibb Unrestricted Grant in Neuroscience, and the C. U. Ariens Kappers Medal. W. Alden Spencer Award in Neuroscience from Columbia University

In episode 9 of Performance Around the Clock, we are delighted to talk to cardiologist, Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein again. Dr. Epstein and Dr. Panda discuss the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease risk. The conversation covers topics such as the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the body, the impact of LDL particles on plaque formation in coronary arteries, and the use of advanced cardiology techniques, such as NMR LipoProfile and calcium scoring, to assess cardiovascular health. Dr. Epstein emphasizes the importance of understanding cholesterol levels and how they contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease, and also highlights the potential for lifestyle changes to reverse plaque development.
