Christopher S Colwell
Professor · Circadian Rhythms
University of California, Los AngelesAbout
Christopher S. Colwell is a Professor-in-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. His research focuses on circadian rhythms, neurodegenerative disorders (particularly Huntington's disease), sleep physiology, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism. He investigates therapeutic interventions like time-restricted feeding and light therapy to mitigate circadian dysfunction in disease models.
Dr. Colwell's work explores neural mechanisms underlying circadian disruption, employing mouse models to study pathologies like Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's, and autism spectrum disorders. His recent publications emphasize translational approaches, including the modulation of light exposure and feeding schedules to restore circadian integrity and improve behavioral outcomes.
He has led NIH-funded projects, including R21NS115041 (2019-2021), examining circadian-based treatments for Huntington's disease. No students or major scientific awards are noted in available records.
