Joseph Takahashi

Joseph Takahashi is a well-known American scientist who studies the biological clock inside our bodies, called the circadian rhythm. His research helps us understand how our bodies know when to sleep, wake, and perform daily functions, based on cues like light and darkness. By identifying the genes and mechanisms involved, Takahashi has advanced knowledge of sleep disorders, jet lag, and other health issues related to our internal clocks. His work contributes to improving health and well-being by better understanding how our biological rhythms influence us.
