The European Biological Rhythms Society is convening a popup workshop to explore how chronobiology plays a role in the current pandemic. In this workshop we’ll explore what chronobiology can contribute to the understanding of COVID-19.
  • How does the clock regulate infection and the course of the disease?
  • Does time of day matter in critical care treatment?
  • What can we expect based on seasonal patterns of viral infections?
