Welcome to episode 24 of the Performance Around The Clock podcast. We resume our series from the Society for Research on Biology Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Annie Curtis, a professor at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), who studies the intersection between circadian rhythms and the immune system. We talk about how the timing of infection affects the immune response and the implications for vaccinations. In addition, we hear about the intriguing role of mitochondria in this immune response. Thanks for listening.
