Nicholas Glossop

Nicholas Glossop is a Lecturer in the Division of Neuroscience, specializing in circadian rhythm biology and transcriptional regulation. His work explores molecular clock mechanisms in Drosophila melanogaster and mammals.

• Primary affiliations: Division of Neuroscience
• Academic rank: Lecturer

Research Interests
Dr. Glossop investigates circadian clock gene networks, focusing on transcription factors like CLOCK and BMAL1. His studies examine:

• Regulation of circadian period through protein degradation
• Developmental specification of pacemaker neurons
• Evolutionary conservation of clock mechanisms
• Light and temperature entrainment pathways
• Ubiquitin ligase roles in clock function
• Transcriptional feedback loop architecture

Publication Trends
His 13 publications (2003–2014) demonstrate sustained focus on Drosophila models and mammalian circadian systems, with increasing emphasis on ubiquitin-mediated regulation and clock neuron development in later works.
