Biography

Shogo Sato joined the Department of Biology at Texas A&M University in 2021 as an Assistant Professor. He has a broad research background in circadian biology, with significant insights into the connections between circadian clocks and metabolism, drawn from a postdoctoral experience in the laboratory of the late Paolo Sassone-Corsi at the University of California, Irvine. His research explores how biological rhythms, such as sleep/wake cycles and hormonal fluctuations, can influence various physiological functions. Sato's work has revealed that disruptions in circadian rhythms are linked to metabolic disorders and aging. He has published studies demonstrating that genetic alterations in circadian clock components lead to significant metabolic phenotypes and insights into the beneficial effects of dietary interventions on circadian regulation. Sato's lab aims to deepen the understanding of how metabolism and epigenetics intertwine with circadian biology and to develop translational strategies to harness these findings for human health enhancement.
