Dr Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda is a professor and circadian biology researcher at the Salk Institute, where he studies how the body’s circadian clocks influence health and metabolism. His research explores how factors including eating patterns, light exposure, sleep and physical activity interact with circadian rhythms, with particular interests in time-restricted eating and metabolic health. His work has helped advance understanding of how everyday behaviours and environmental cues can influence the body’s biological rhythms.
Dr Panda’s research investigates how circadian clocks coordinate biological processes throughout the body and how these rhythms respond to everyday behaviours and environmental cues. His work spans the relationship between circadian biology, metabolism and healthy ageing, with particular interests including:
Circadian rhythms and biological clocks
Time-restricted eating and metabolic health
Sleep and daily activity patterns
Light exposure and circadian regulation
Healthy ageing
As a member of HOOKE’s Scientific Advisory Board, Dr Panda advises the team on developments in circadian rhythm research, drawing on his expertise in circadian biology, metabolism and time-restricted eating. He is also available to consult directly with HOOKE members on special request.
