Systems Biology of Biological Clocks

Duke Chronicle names Biological Clocks with Steve Haase and Anna Christina Nelson an ‘interesting class to take’ for Fall 2022

The class taught this fall by Steve alongside Anna Christina Nelson was mentioned in the Duke Chronicle article ‘Seven Interesting Classes to Take in Fall 2022’!

“This course will examine the many rhythmic behaviors exhibited by organisms and cells, from sleep and wake cycles to flower openings to cell division and malaria infections. Classwork will center around the genetic and molecular networks that comprise clocks regulating cell division and circadian rhythms, as well as the quantitative aspects of clock networks through a data analysis and dynamical systems model perspective.” Alison Korn, Duke Chronicle

Duke Today: The Modeling Data Behind Duke’s Covid Response Plan

“The questions I wanted answered were ‘How do I deliver a great course while keeping people safe?’ and ‘How do I optimize the student experience while keeping people safe?’”

Media Briefing: COVID Testing Keeps A Campus Safe

Steve Haase participated in a media briefing regarding the ongoing COVID testing on campus.

Haase and Takahashi Groups find evidence for intrinsic clocks in malaria parasites.

Duke Today, HHMI, The Scientist, and Science News all reported on recent work from our lab as well as from the Takahashi lab indicating that the malaria parasite has an intrinsic clock!

“The idea is, if we can learn these mechanisms then we have targets potentially for new antimalarial treatments.” – Steve Haase, from The Scientist

“If we can figure out if and how the malaria parasite synchronizes the ticking of its clock with that of its host (..) we might be able to disrupt those signals and help the human immune system better fight these invaders.” – Steve Haase, from Duke Today
