Dr. Timothy Hearn is a Researcher in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Clinical Medicine and Cambridge Reproduction initiative. His work integrates chronobiology and genomic medicine to study biological rhythms in vertebrates.
- University: University of Cambridge
- Department: Medical Genetics
- Research Focus: Chronobiology, Genomic Medicine, Reproductive Biology
Research Interests: Timothy Hearn investigates how daily and seasonal rhythms influence transcription in embryos, using zebrafish as a model for human photoperiodism. His functional approach involves RNA-seq, CRISPR, and interdisciplinary studies of epigenetics in placental trophoblast cells.
Article Trends: His recent publications (2024-2020) emphasize the circadian clock's role in cardiac arrhythmia, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, immune homeostasis, and gene conservation across species. Techniques span transcriptomics, gene editing, and translational genomics.
Labs & Teams: The Chronomic Medicine group, based at the Addenbrookes Treatment Centre (level 6), collaborates with departments across Cambridge and participates in funded initiatives like Genomics England's Development and Incubator Funds.
