Biography

Horacio de la Iglesia is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. He completed his undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and received a PhD in Neuroscience and Behavior from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His doctoral research, conducted under Eric Bittman, focused on neuroanatomical interactions related to the master circadian clock in mammals. Following his PhD, he continued his studies on neural control of circadian rhythms as a Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and later served as an Instructor at Harvard University, where he taught a course on Stem Cells. Since joining the University of Washington in 2003, his research has explored how neural systems encode time and generate rhythmic physiological and behavioral outputs, utilizing a comparative approach that spans animal models from laboratory mice to humans. His work involves studying circadian rhythms, sleep-wake cycles, and the effects of environmental factors such as light on human circadian rhythms. He is widely published in his field, with numerous contributions to significant journals in the domain of biological rhythms and neurobiology.
