معرفی
Jerome Menet is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University, leading the Menet Lab. He specializes in circadian biology, focusing on molecular mechanisms underlying circadian clocks and their impact on health. His research explores how clock genes regulate gene expression, linking circadian dysfunction to diseases like cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegeneration. Menet holds a B.Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Lille (1996), followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Neurosciences from Louis Pasteur University (1999 and 2003). He completed postdoctoral research at Brandeis University before joining Texas A&M in 2013.
His research integrates molecular and biochemical techniques, including next-generation sequencing, to study genome-wide circadian regulation. Key areas include chromatin dynamics and post-transcriptional control of gene expression. Recent work highlights the role of rhythmic food intake in driving gene expression patterns more potently than intrinsic circadian clocks, with implications for metabolic health.
Publications span circadian-cancer links, chromatin architecture, and rhythmic RNA processing. Menet’s lab develops custom tools like feeding systems to model circadian disruptions. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his work has been published in high-impact journals such as Nature and Cell Reports.
Advising and grants: Menet supervises students in his lab, though no specific advisees are named. Grants and collaborations underpin his research, though specifics are not detailed here. His lab focuses on translational research, bridging fundamental circadian biology with clinical applications.
Labs/teams: The Menet Lab at Texas A&M is a hub for circadian research, employing interdisciplinary approaches to dissect molecular mechanisms and disease connections. Ongoing projects aim to expand understanding of chromatin regulation and post-transcriptional pathways in circadian contexts.
