Phillip Karpowicz is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Windsor, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research. His research focuses on circadian rhythms and their roles in health, disease, and environmental adaptation. Key areas include circadian regulation of intestinal stem cells, cancer initiation, inflammatory bowel disease, and the impacts of circadian misalignment on fish biology.
Research Interests: Dr. Karpowicz investigates how circadian clocks influence cellular processes, with emphases on cancer prevention, regeneration, and environmental stress responses. His work bridges chronobiology, molecular biology, and ecology, using models like Drosophila, mice, and salmon to explore disease mechanisms.
Articles highlight his exploration of BMAL1 gene functions, time-restricted feeding therapies, and circadian-driven environmental resilience in aquatic species. He has secured grants including the Early Researcher Award (2018) and NSERC funding (2020). His lab advises students like Rachna Patel and Kathyani Parasram, and collaborates with institutions like the Great Lakes Institute.
Notable contributions include identifying circadian clock roles in colitis recovery and tumor suppression, and developing molecular tools for stress profiling in salmonids. Ongoing work explores circadian medicine and environmental adaptation strategies for aquatic organisms.
