Dr Alun Hughes has completed his BSc, MSc and PhD studies at the University of Manchester. Since 2006, he has worked as a Post- doctoral Research Fellow in the laboratory of Professor Hugh Piggins. He will be moving to Liverpool shortly to set up his own research group as a Lecturer in Physiology at Liverpool John Moores University. His research to date has focused on the circadian clock system and has included work on neuropeptide regulation of circadian clock function, the actions of environmental timing cues on the circadian clock system and the impact of lifestyle factors such as exercise and diet on circadian biology and downstream physiological processes. Most recently, he has investigated the actions of time-scheduled voluntary exercise to improve circadian clock function in a genetic mouse model of circadian disruption.
