Scientific Lineage
The Hogenesch Lab builds on intellectual traditions in core molecular clock work, genomics, systems biology, and circadian medicine.
The scientific direction of the lab was shaped by training with Christopher A. Bradfield, Joseph S. Takahashi, Steve A. Kay, and Peter G. Schultz. Their work helped define the experimental rigor, conceptual range, and interdisciplinary style that continue to inform the lab’s approach to biological timing and genome-scale biology.
Mentor 1
Training with Bradfield contributed a durable orientation toward chemical biology, transcriptional regulation, and mechanistic rigor in mammalian systems.
Mentor 2
Training with Takahashi helped shape the lab’s grounding in circadian genetics, molecular clock mechanisms, and quantitative chronobiology.
Mentor 3
Training with Kay helped define the lab’s interest in circadian biology, systems-level questions, and functional genomics at scale.
Mentor 4
Training with Schultz reinforced a style of science that values chemical biology, inventive experimental tools, and broad interdisciplinary thinking.
