Dr. Annie Curtis is a Research Lecturer at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Her research focuses on the role of the molecular clock (also known as body clock) on the immune system especially the inflammatory response.

We are experiencing an epidemic of chronic inflammatory disease, and the Curtis Clock lab investigates whether disruption of our body clocks, due to our 24/7 lifestyle and erratic eating and sleeping patterns, is driving uncontrolled inflammation and a underlying factor that is driving this epidemic.
